MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO. 225

Service Stations

Mr De Domenico - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning

(1) How many service stations are there in Canberra.

(2) Where are they located.

(3) When was the land auctioned for each service station site and how much was the land sold for at auction.

(4) What planning restrictions exist which disallow convenience

stores and other entrepreneurial activities at service

stations. ..

Mr Wood - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) There are currently 85 service stations operating in Canberra.

(2) (See Attachment A.)

(3) (See Attachment B.)

(4) Activities carried out at service stations are subject to the planning policy for service stations which was revised in 1988. Under the revised policy, convenience store retail is restricted to a floorspace of fifty square metres. Retail in excess of this foolscap standard requires a lease variation to the purpose clause to allow for general retailing. Each application for general retailing or other activities at a service station site is considered on its individual merits.
