MR JENSEN (4.22): I move:

Page 26, lines 26 to 30, subclause 58(2), omit the subclause, substitute the following subclause:

"(2) An application shall be accompanied by a statement of the reasons why the applicant considers that the place should be included on the Heritage Planning Register.".

I understand that the Government accepts this amendment. It relates to a statement of reasons why the applicant considers that a place should be included on the register. I think it is totally appropriate. It is more than our just saying that we want something; I think people should be required to provide reasons.

MR WOOD (Minister for Education and the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (4.22): Mr Speaker, I do not think Mr Jensen has the correct title there. The second last word should be "Places". It should read, "... on the Heritage Places Register". You can take it as read or correct it by whatever means you can use, Mr Speaker.

Mr Jensen: Do you want me to read that into the record, Mr Speaker?

MR SPEAKER: You should move an amendment to your amendment.

Amendment (by Mr Jensen) agreed to:

Omit "Planning", substitute "Places".

Amendment, as amended, agreed to.

Clause, as amended, agreed to.

Clauses 59 and 60, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.

Clause 61

MR MOORE (4.23): Mr Speaker, my amendment relates to what is probably just an unintentional omission. I move:

Page 28, line 36, subclause 61(2), before "newspaper", insert "daily".

This is just a simple amendment which will mean that people will know where to look. In the current situation, it would apply to publication in the Canberra Times.
