Question so resolved in the affirmative.

Clause, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 26 agreed to.

Clause 27

MR JENSEN (6.05), by leave: I move:

Page 15, line 4, paragraph 27(a), omit "and".

Page 15, line 5, after paragraph 27(b), add the following word and paragraph: "and, (c) submit the draft variation and all the background papers to an appropriate committee of the Legislative Assembly.".

This relates to the provision of information in relation to the revival of a deferred draft plan variation to an appropriate committee of the Legislative Assembly. I have put arguments in relation to this before. When the authority, in compliance with an Executive direction, defers a draft plan, they are then required to do certain things. I am suggesting that they then should resubmit the draft variation to the Executive and we believe that it is appropriate for them to resubmit it to the committee to allow the committee to consider it. In most cases like this there will be substantial changes and therefore it is important to allow the committee process to continue accordingly.

MR KAINE (Leader of the Opposition) (6.06): Mr Speaker, I think that, since this relates to the revival of a deferred draft plan variation, it is not necessary that it be referred specifically to an Assembly committee. I propose an amendment to Mr Jensen's amendment. I move:

Omit all words in proposed paragraph (c), substitute "advise the Legislative Assembly.".
