MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND

PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO. 285

Lease Variation Application - Dickson

Mr Moore - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning - In relation to your response to question on notice No231 concerning why an application to vary the lease made three years ago was still current, your response was:

"the application was lodged on 9 September 1993 and amended on 3 October 1995"

Also you stated in your answer that:

"a delegated officer approved an extension of the prescribed time under section 233 of the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 and Regulation 22(7)".

Section 227(1) of the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 (Land Act) states that:

"The Minister shall keep a Register of:

(a) each alteration or correction to an application made pursuant to sub-section 226(3)"

An inspection of the public register at the Department of Urban Services "Applications Secretariat" indicated no amendment in October 1995 or any other date, only the original application of 1993.

Given the apparent inconsistency between the Minister's answer to question No 231 and the legislative requirements of him to keep a public register of amendments to applications, can the Minister provide to the Assembly copies of:

(1) The amendment claimed to have been made in October 1995.
