Madam Speaker, in endorsing the proposed draft variation, the committee has made a recommendation that the retention of the Inglewood Homestead site be examined in future, to allow for its possible retention in an urban open space area while not in the nature reserve area itself. The committee is also conscious that it will consider the more detailed planning issues regarding surrounding suburbs adjacent to the Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve at the appropriate time in the future. In conclusion, Madam Speaker, I commend the extensive work which has been done by the ACT Government in firmly establishing appropriate boundaries for the Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve and the consultation process with which they have been involved for some time. I am delighted with the result, as I am sure many current and future residents of Gungahlin and Canberra are and will be.
Question resolved in the affirmative.

Report on Draft Variation to the Territory Plan - Fyshwick
MR BERRY (3.13): Madam Speaker, I present report No. 26 of the Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure on the draft variation to the Territory Plan for Fyshwick, section 30, block 15, known as Jim Murphy's Market Cellars, together with a copy of the extracts from the minutes of proceedings. This report was provided to you for circulation on Wednesday, 4 May 1994, pursuant to the resolution of appointment. I move:
That the report be noted.
This draft variation is relatively minor and does not need extensive comment. The draft variation proposes to change the land use policy to increase to 1,200 square metres the permissible area from which the sale of beverages, including alcohol, can take place. The draft variation will regularise the situation whereby the existing business operates from approximately 1,000 square metres yet the existing policy restricts retailing from the site to 300 square metres gross floor area. The draft variation has not been opposed by adjacent lessees. I commend the committee's report.
MS SZUTY (3.14): I wish to speak briefly to this draft variation approved by the Planning Committee in relation to Fyshwick, section 30, block 15, Jim Murphy's Market Cellars. A written note on minute paper to the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning, Mr Wood, included in the draft variation papers as annex B, states:
I understand that Mr Lamont, Mr Kaine and Ms Szuty are happy for this to proceed to their committee as a minor variation. This is the first one to be handled in this way and will be a useful precedent.
