PRESENTLY FRUSTRATES THE GRANTING OF BUILDING APPROVAL. THIS COMES ABOUT BECAUSE BUILDING APPROVAL CANNOT BE GRANTED UNLESS DESIGN AND SITING APPROVAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN OBTAINED FROM THE PLANNING AUTHORITY.

CLEARLY THE TWO ACTS NEED TO BE COMPLEMENTARY. THE OBVIOUS CHANGE TO MAKE IS TO AMEND THE DESIGN AND SITING ACT SO THAT WHERE THE BUILDING CONTROLLER ISSUES A NOTICE REQUIRING THE LANDHOLDER TO OBTAIN THE APPROVAL OF PLANS, AND A BUILDING PERMIT FOR AN EXISTING BUILDING, THE DESIGN AND SITING ACT PERMITS DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL TO BE OBTAINED WHERE THE EXISTING BUILDING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE TERRITORY PLAN.

MADAM SPEAKER, THESE ARE THE MATTERS OF SUBSTANCE DEALT WITH BY THE AMENDMENT BILL.
