Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 3 Hansard (10 April) . . Page.. 906 ..

MS HORODNY (continuing):

(b) by adding at the end of paragraph (1)(f) `or'; and

(c) by adding at the end of subsection (1) the following paragraph:

`(g) deposit garden waste, soil or landscaping material that contains plant material capable of propagating.'.".

This amendment alters section 56 of the Nature Conservation Act so that it would be an offence to dump garden waste in reserved areas. It could be argued that the Litter Act already covers this, but it is not clear from the wording of the Litter Act whether it applies to nature reserves as opposed to parks and public spaces within the urban area. Since section 56 already refers to a number of activities that are not allowed in a reserved area, it seems quite sensible to ensure that this list includes all prohibited activities in the one place.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment (by Ms Horodny) agreed to:

Page 4, line 12, subclause (2), omit "Nature Conservation Act 1980", substitute "Principal Act".

Clause, as amended, agreed to.

Remainder of Bill, by leave, taken as a whole, and agreed to.
