MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 1433

Development Application - Kingston

Mr Cornwell - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning What is the delay in construction at Block 5 Section 25 Kingston?

Mr Wood - the answer, to the Members question is as follows:

Before I answer the Members question I would like to clarify that the development site comprises Blocks 4, 5 & 6 Section 25 Kingston.

An application for a lease variation was received by the Department of the Environment, Land and Planning on 9 March 1994 requesting residential, commercial/retail and carparking. The variation was handled as a Controlled Activity under the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991.

The application was approved on 9 June 1994 subject to conditions. Issues in relation to the calculation of betterment, including compensation for the provision of public carparking on the site, were discussed at length with the Lessee. Compensation for carparking was not agreed to by the Territory, and betterment was paid by the Lessee on 23 September 1994. The new lease was lodged at the Registrar-Generals Office on 14 October 1994.

There is now no impediment to commencement of work on the site.
