Amendment (by Mr Moore) agreed to:

Page 20, line 7, after proposed section 187A insert the following proposed section:

"New change of use charge formula

`187AA. (1) 18 months after the day on which section 187AA commences, the formula in subsection 187A(2) is to be omitted and the following formula substituted:

`(2) The formula in subsection 187A(2), as in force immediately before the day on which the substitution of the formula takes effect under subsection (1) of this section, continues to apply in relation to a consolidation or subdivision if the consolidation or subdivision had been applied for, but had not been effected, immediately before that day.".

MS HORODNY (11.43): Mr Speaker, I withdraw my proposed amendments Nos 17 to 19 because they are reliant on my amendments Nos 2 and 3.

MR SPEAKER: The question now is: That clause 45, as amended, be agreed to.

Ms McRae: I would ask, "What about No. 21?", but I have stopped being helpful.

MR SPEAKER: Amendment No. 21 was to be moved only if amendment No. 14 was agreed to. My information indicates that it was not.

Clause, as amended, agreed to.

Clauses 46 to 48, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.

Clause 49 agreed to.

Clause 50

MR MOORE (11.44): Mr Speaker, I rise to oppose this clause. Section 216A of the Act is about the notification of certain leases to the Legislative Assembly. This amendment will reduce the reporting to the Legislative Assembly and the obligation of the Minister to explain why an unrecommended lease is approved. I think it is appropriate for an open government to explain to the Assembly what it is doing. In one sense, I appear to be siding with the developers here, do I not, Minister? But I think the priority is openness.
