Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 4 Hansard (7 May) . . Page.. 1072 ..

MR STEFANIAK (continuing):

this recommendation. The court action and events subsequent to the release of the Social Policy Committee report have overtaken the action proposed by this recommendation. Quite simply, it is no longer an option.

As the Government response indicates, the Government recognises that there are still issues to be resolved. Members of the Assembly can be assured that Government representatives will continue to maintain dialogue with the SWOW community and the former SWOW board until there is no further need. Mr Speaker, the Government will continue to monitor the progress of the alternative education facility at Dickson College. We will work with the community to ensure the program meets its objectives and fully meets the educational needs of those students who, for whatever reason, seek a genuine alternative education.

Debate (on motion by Ms Tucker) adjourned.

Ms McRae: Mr Speaker, I would like to take a point of order. The Chief Minister quoted from a piece of paper during question time. I am sorry I was not quick enough then to ask for the paper to be tabled. In the absence of the Chief Minister, I wondered whether I could ask the Manager of Government Business to table the Access Economics sheet that Mrs Carnell quoted from when she gave me extra information about the question that I asked today. I realise that such a request is normally made straight after question time, but I did not have the opportunity to do that, because the presentation of papers overtook the event.

Mr Humphries: Mr Speaker, I will take the matter up with Mrs Carnell.

MR MOORE (4.10): Mr Speaker, I present Report No. 27 of the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment, entitled "Draft Variation to the Territory Plan (No. 58): Residential Land Use Policies". I move:

That the report be noted.

Mr Speaker, draft variation to the Territory Plan No. 58, to do with residential land use policies, relates to the draft variation proposal to prohibit multiunit development, through subdivision or lease variation, of single dwelling residential blocks until five years after completion of the original dwelling and to recognise the role of approved community advisory committees on planning, currently known as LAPACs, or local area planning advisory committees.
