Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 8 Hansard (26 June) . . Page.. 2214 ..

MR WOOD (continuing):

Mr Speaker, the impact of the first amendment is to ensure that a person who is a resident of Gungahlin fills that specialist position nominated on the authority. The other amendments ensure that people with certain designations have no pecuniary interest in that land or in any activity carried out on the land in the Gungahlin central area. This is a normal process, but we have written it into this legislation as a matter of principle.

MS TUCKER (6.01): The Greens will be happy to support these amendments.

MR DE DOMENICO (Minister for Urban Services) (6.01): The Government will, too, Mr Speaker.

Amendments agreed to.

MS TUCKER (6.02): I move:

Page 8, line 4, subclause (1), after paragraph 14(1)(f) insert the following paragraphs:

"(fa) a person with expertise in environmental protection;

(fb) a person with expertise in the provision of community facilities.".

This amendment is basically about including in the group a person with environmental expertise and a person with expertise in the provision of community facilities. This is, once again, important if we are to make sure that there is a balanced approach by this group in the development of what, hopefully, will be a state-of-the-art town centre.

MR DE DOMENICO (Minister for Urban Services) (6.02): The Government will support the amendment, Mr Speaker.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, agreed to.

Clauses 15 to 20, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.
