MR SMYTH (continuing):
added benefit. The remaining two recommendations relate to a request for additional information. However, it is considered that sufficient information is already provided in the notes section of the budget statements.
I appreciate the efforts of committee members in providing the report, which will assist government in improving the quality of the budget information being provided. I table the government's response.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
MR SMYTH (Minister for Urban Services): For the information of members I present the following papers:
Land (Planning and Environment) Act, pursuant to section 29-Variations to the Territory Plan, together with the background papers, a copy of the summaries and reports, and a copy of any direction or report required for:
Variation No 114 relating to the Heritage Places Register-Red Hill Precinct
Variation No 144 relating to the Molonglo River Corridor-The Defence Force Co-located Staff Colleges site including other land within this area of Weston Creek.
I ask for leave to make a statement.
Leave granted.
MR SYMTH: Variation No 114 to the Territory Plan enters the Red Hill precinct on the Heritage Places Register. The Red Hill precinct was included on the interim Heritage Places Register on 26 August 1994 and has been subject to ongoing appeals. The variation replaces the interim register for the Red Hill precinct and the guidelines included within the document, guidelines for the residential development of the Forrest, Red Hill, Deakin and Griffith historic areas.
The precinct includes 70 blocks and is bounded generally by the Red Hill reserve to the west, Moresby Street and Arthur Circle to the north, Monaro Crescent to the east and Flinders Way to the south. The primary significance of the precinct lies in its ability to demonstrate the garden suburb planning principles that applied in the development of early Canberra, particularly from 1930 through to 1980.
The precinct contains several buildings and elements of outstanding architectural, landscape or associative significance It includes the existing and former residences of a range of people prominent in public life at a national and local level. The prestigious character of the area has led to the establishment of diplomatic missions and enhanced its attraction as a tourist destination.
