MADAM SPEAKER (Ms McRae) took the chair at 10.30 am and read the prayer.
PETITIONS
The Clerk: The following petitions have been lodged for presentation:
By Mr Moore, from 65 residents, requesting that the Assembly act to delay any substantial residential development in North Watson until the wider impact of such development on North Canberra and Gungahlin has been fully assessed in the context of the Territory Plan.
By Mr Moore, from 77 residents, requesting that the Assembly direct ACT Electricity and Water to plant and nurture an equivalent number of trees in "safe" locations in the Stirling Avenue Reserve as a demonstration of the Territory's commitment to the "billion trees" program initiated by the Federal Government.
The terms of these petitions will be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate Minister.
Residential Development - North Watson
The petition read as follows:
TO THE SPEAKER AND MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY
The petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly: that
at this time the Watson and Hackett communities believe that any residential development in North Watson is "greenfields" and not "urban infill" and that any such development will be at the expense of the residents and developers of Gungahlin as well as adversely impacting the amenity of the area for the residents of North Canberra.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to:
act to delay any substantial residential development in North Watson until the wider impact of such development on North Canberra and Gungahlin has been fully assessed in the context of the Territory Plan.
