BUILDINGS (DESIGN AND SITING) (AMENDMENT) BILL 1992
Debate resumed from 18 June 1992, on motion by Mr Wood:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
MR KAINE (Leader of the Opposition) (12.19): The Opposition has no objection to this Bill. In fact, what is proposed here is relatively minor. The main purpose of it is to allow the Minister to impose fees where they were not previously imposed. We find nothing here that we can object to. We support the Bill.
MR WOOD (Minister for Education and Training, Minister for the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (12.19), in reply: Madam Speaker, I thank the Opposition for their support. As Mr Kaine says, it is relatively simple. Our procedures are now more complex following the new planning legislation. We are recovering some of the additional costs by way of fees; but we are not, at this stage, into full cost recovery. I do not know whether we will ever go down that path, but these are simple and moderate measures.
