LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NUMBER 322
Land Subdivisions - Energy Audits
"In relation to the requirement in part C4 of the Territory Plan that energy audits be undertaken for subdivisions of land into more than 30 blocks -
(1) How many blocks have been audited since this requirement was introduced?
(2) What is the breakdown in the ratings for these blocks?
(3) Have there been any instances where a subdivision plan has been amended as a result of feedback on the energy audit received by the proponent from the Planning and Land Management Group or the previous ACT Planning Authority?
(4) How can potential purchasers of new blocks in the ACT find out the rating of a block as contained in the relevant energy audit?
Mr Humphries - the answer to the member's question is as follows:
Statistical data for all subdivisions subject to energy audits, since the requirement for these audits commenced in mid 1992, has not been collated. However, a search of readily available records covering slightly more than 50% of subdivisions has provided the following information in answer to the questions:
(1) 4885.
(2) As far as can be readily ascertained, for 2514 blocks covered by the survey the percentages falling within each of the star ratings are;
5 Star 47.4%
4 Star 18.4%
3 Star 27.8%
2 Star 6.2%
1 Star 0.2%
(3) Not as far as can be ascertained from Government records but the process of preparing the audit is likely to encourage proponents to revise proposals where the audit discloses a problem.
(4) This information can be obtained through the Planning and Land Management Group Shopfront at John Overall Offices, 220 Northbourne Avenue Braddon.
