Question resolved in the affirmative.

Debate resumed from 3 September 1996, on motion by Mr Moore:

That the report be noted.

MR HUMPHRIES (Attorney-General and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (11.33): Mr Speaker, this report endorses the draft variation which provides for the adding of a large number of significant places to the Heritage Places Register. Some very important parts of the ACT's heritage are included in this variation, including Calthorpes' House; the Mugga Mugga Homestead, which was the kind donation of Ms Sylvia Curley; the church and churchyard of St John the Baptist at Reid, a very beautiful building; Tuggeranong Schoolhouse; and the Goldenholm Dairy at Fyshwick. They are only a few of some very significant pieces of the ACT's heritage which are protected in this variation.

The committee has supported the variation. I commend them for that. A large number of other variations based on advice from the Heritage Council are coming down through the pipeline, and I look forward to being able to deal with those in this place in due course.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Debate resumed from 19 November 1996, on motion by Mr Moore:

That the report be noted.

MR HUMPHRIES (Attorney-General and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (11.35): It is good to get some of these matters off the notice paper. I welcome the committee's support for the proposals of the Government to proceed with the construction of Nudurr Drive. There was comment by the committee on what it described as inadequate consultation processes used by government agencies.
