that can be varied by a planner at whim or according to the circumstances of the case. The objective of the plan was to introduce certainty into the process. The minute you put into place a massive guidelines paper overriding a very large geographic area of the city, it immediately removes the certainty that the plan was proposed to put in place.
I ask the committee to consider, along with the documents themselves, whether these documents, once approved, should become part of the Territory Plan. Then there would be no doubt whatsoever in the minds of people using the plan and subject to it where these documents stand, what they are and what force and authority they have. The chairman may wish to take that on as part of this reference.
COMMITTEES - STANDING AND SELECT
Membership
MR HUMPHRIES (4.39): Madam Speaker, I ask for leave to move a motion regarding membership of the Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure and the Select Committee on the Establishment of the ACT Public Service.
Leave granted.
MR HUMPHRIES: I thank members. Madam Speaker, I move:
That:
(1) Mr Kaine be discharged from attending the Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure and Mr Cornwell be appointed in his place.
(2) Mr De Domenico be discharged from attending the Select Committee on the Establishment of the ACT Public Service and Mr Kaine be appointed in his place.
Madam Speaker, a number of sensitive and important matters are currently before, and will in the future come before, the Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure. I am sure that the committee will be disappointed to lose the expertise of Mr Kaine on that committee; but I am sure, Madam Speaker, that members are also aware that at the present time that committee consists entirely of members of the Assembly who are residents of the Belconnen and Tuggeranong townships of the ACT.
Mr Lamont: That is not correct.
MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Lamont might have moved, but he certainly has been identified with the Belconnen area up until now.
