I urge that the Minister actively pursue this matter. Fairly recently, in fact during the Tuggeranong community festival, I had the opportunity to take a boat ride on Lake Tuggeranong.
Mr Connolly: It was a nice trip around on the lake.
MRS NOLAN: It was a nice trip around on the lake, Mr Connolly, and I was just going to say how much nicer it would be if Lake Burley Griffin also could be used. Mr Connolly and I had the opportunity to take a nice trip around and have morning tea on Lake Tuggeranong during the festival and the launch of the steam powered boats on Lake Tuggeranong. But it would be so much nicer to see powerboats on Lake Burley Griffin as well. I commend the amendment Bill.
MR WOOD (Minister for Education and the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (10.37), in reply: I understand what Mrs Nolan says, Mr Speaker. It is my understanding - I will check it out carefully for you - that an approach has been made for use of Lake Burley Griffin, as you ask. I will see whether I can hurry a response so that there is consistency in the provisions applicable to the lakes.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Bill agreed to in principle.
Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.
Bill agreed to.
