PAPERS

RETAILING REQUIREMENTS - TUGGERANONG VALLEY
Discussion of Matter of Public Importance
MADAM SPEAKER: Members, I have received a letter from Mrs Carnell proposing that a matter of public importance be submitted to the Assembly for discussion, namely:
The need for a comprehensive study into future retailing requirements and trends in the Tuggeranong Valley to occur prior to the development of further major retail projects.
MRS CARNELL (Leader of the Opposition) (3.15): Madam Speaker, I am really pleased to note that people on the other side of this house finally realise that this issue of the viability of small business, not just in the Tuggeranong Valley but in Canberra as a whole, is important. When we asked questions on this during the last sitting the Minister said, "Well, I really do not know, but it is something that I suggest we put off. We do not really know what we are talking about". The fact is that, even back in the last sitting and for a long period, we on this side of the house have cared a lot about this issue. As you would know, Minister, we have convened meetings on the issue of interested small retailers out in the Tuggeranong Valley, and we have spoken individually to a very large number of them. Mr Kaine and Mr De Domenico, and some of our other candidates, have spent a lot of time gauging the opinion of people out in the valley. I think that is a very appropriate situation.
