(3). The current Plan which applies to this area is the Belconnen Town Centre Policy Plan of December 1986. This shows the area as open space but with the proviso that this is to be reviewed. It. therefore has the status of .an Investigation Area.
In the draft Territory Plan the site was shown as an investigation Area.. In accordance with the Governments decision to delete the Investigation Areas from the draft Territory Plan, the land use policy for the area has reverted to open space. The Governments policy provides that any future proposal for a land use change in a former Investigation Area will be subject to a detailed .and specific proposal for. the particular site.
The revised Territory Plan shows the site as urban open space, but. with an area-specific policy as follows:
"Area 9B Belconnen Section 154 Part Block 2, Section 155
Part Block 2, .Section 159 Part Block 1
Objective
To review the land use policy after monitoring the recreation use of the. land and considering the needs of the future Belconnen population and the impacts on the existing parklands."
(4) If the RSL proposal goes ahead details will be made public in the context of public consultation on a draft variation to the Territory Plan.- This will follow the submission of a formal proposal from the RSL, including .an undertaking to pay an appropriate premium for the land.
(5) I have not resiled from my commitment -to review the use of vacant land around Lake Ginninderra. The revised Territory Plan-confirms the intention to review the land, use-of the blocks in question. As indicated above any proposal to develop the land .would involve public consultation as part of- the process for varying the Territory Plan. .
