Mr Deputy Speaker, the reason for this motion is straightforward. Members are aware that the Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure is currently examining draft residential guidelines for two specific areas of Canberra - the Kingston/Griffith area known as area B2, and the Deakin, Griffith, Red Hill and Forrest historic areas. The committee expects to report this week on area B2 guidelines, and to report in the near future on guidelines for the historic areas. Whilst the committee's reports are directed to the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning, who has kindly referred the draft guidelines to the Planning Committee for our input prior to his making a final decision on the guidelines, the committee has undertaken to table its reports in the Assembly for the information of members.
In order to ensure that the committee's report is able to be circulated promptly, even if the Assembly is not sitting, and to ensure that the report is appropriately covered by privilege, the committee, at its meeting last week, authorised me to seek leave of the Assembly to move the motion before you. Mr Deputy Speaker, I commend the motion to the Assembly.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
