With respect to the subdivision of land following a dual occupancy development, it is the intention of this policy that a dual occupancy development remains on the original block and is not separately titled. This is because:

single titles will assist in the maintenance of the character of residential areas;

single titles will encourage the provision of rental accommodation;

subdivision in many cases would produce small awkward blocks and thereby difficulties with services and utilities;

subdivision would encourage the different treatment of the two dwellings in design terms;

later redevelopment of the area may require land assembly and would be impeded by premature block fragmentation.

Madam Speaker, it is significant that the Government and the community are more clearly able to see the benefits of changed unit title arrangements. I will address further issues on the new arrangements at the detail stage of consideration of the Bill, raising much the same issues as Mr Kaine has already raised in his remarks.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Bill agreed to in principle.
