MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NUMBER 1175

Lake Ginninderra Foreshores -

Building Approvals

Mr Cornwell - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning

What is the current situation in respect of building approvals on the foreshores of Lake Ginninderra?

Mr Wood - the answer, to the Member's question is as follows:

The majority of the Lake Ginninderra Foreshore is shown in the Territory Plan as Urban Open Space..

The most recent applications for Building approval for the lake shore area were for the development of the fast food restaurants of Hungry Jack's and Red Rooster. These are situated on Block 79 Section 65 Belconnen which is adjacent to Sizzlers Restaurant. I understand that they have been given Design and Siting approval but that Building approval has not yet been granted. I also understand that once building approval is given, work will commence on this site as soon as possible.

Design and Siting approval for Hungry Jacks and Red Rooster followed a period of extensive consultation between the developers, the Belconnen Community Council, the ACT Planning Authority and myself.

A site for a boat and bicycle hire establishment was put up for auction in November 1993 but not sold. The site was subsequently withdrawn from sale. There are no .other current development proposals for the foreshores of Lake Ginninderra.
