Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 11 Hansard (4 November) . . Page.. 3527 ..

MR MOORE (12.40): Mr Speaker, I present Report No. 36 of the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment entitled "Draft Variation to the Territory Plan No. 78: Heritage Places Register (Third Variation)", together with a copy of the extracts of the minutes of proceedings. This report was provided to the Speaker for circulation on Friday, 31 October, pursuant to the resolution of appointment. I move:

That the report be noted.

Mr Speaker, I need to say a few words on this report on the variation to heritage places. The committee has approved the variation and I believe that that will enhance the Territory Plan. The committee expressed some concern that we not go over the top; that we understand that, if variations to the Territory Plan because of heritage issues put too many things under heritage, then heritage itself will become a laughing-stock and not receive the appropriate protection that it deserves. That was a concern within the questioning of the committee. However, in respect of the particular variations before us, Mr Humphries's public servants were able to explain the appropriate reasoning and the committee has accepted that and approved that variation to the Territory Plan.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

MR MOORE (12.41): Just in case you thought the committee was sitting around, Mr Speaker, I present Report No. 37 of the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment entitled "Draft Variation to the Territory Plan No. 83: Group Centres - Provision for Personal Services and Minor Corrections", together with a copy of the extracts of the minutes of proceedings. This report was provided to the Speaker for circulation on Friday, 31 October 1997, pursuant to the resolution of appointment. I move:

That the report be noted.

This report deals with group centres and the approach to group centres, which has been discussed on a number of occasions in the Assembly, and the committee endorsed a draft variation. This is Draft Variation to the Territory Plan No. 83.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
