Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 12 Hansard (21 November) . . Page.. 4262 ..

In line with the amendments to the Principal Act, the Bill makes consequential amendments to other Acts and to the Land (Planning and Environment) Regulations. Most significantly:

. The Buildings (Design and Siting) Act 1964 is repealed. Applications for approval of the design and siting of building work are now within the meaning of "development" for the purposes of the Act. The Regulations will exclude from the Part Vl process any building work that would normally be processed only by the Building Controller under the Building Act.

. Due to the repeal of the Design and Siting Act, several amendments have been made to the Building Act 1972 ensuring the validity of previous approvals and applying the provisions of the Land Act to the Building Act.

. The Unit Titles Act 1970 has been amended to provide for the renewal of unit titles leases and clarifying the interests of lessees upon cancellation of a units plan where unit holders have been granted a further lease before that cancellation.

. The Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1989 has been amended to bring the standing of persons in respect of decisions under the Land Act into line with the general standing rules, and taking into account the changes to the standing of persons seeking review in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal of decisions under the Land Act.
