Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 6 Hansard (24 May) . . Page.. 1675 ..
MR SMYTH (Minister for Urban Services): For the information of members, I present the following paper:
Land (Planning and Environment) Act, pursuant to section 229A-Statement relating to the revocation of Development Application 20001663-block 17, section 29 Turner.
I seek leave to make a statement.
Leave granted.
MR SMYTH: Mr Speaker, the call-in of the block 17, section 29, Turner, relates to a dual occupancy development in Turner that I believe meets the government's directive to achieve quality and sustainable development in the ACT. It is important that we support those who go out of their way to do the right thing in quality of design and leading-edge sustainability.
The proposal provides a high standard of residential accommodation while retaining substantial on-site vegetation as well as protecting the existing streetscape. It introduces innovative design for some of the most energy efficient accommodation ever to be built in the ACT and exemplifies what we can achieve here in the ACT.
The application seeks approval for a development that provides a significant example of achievement of the objectives of residential land use in the Territory Plan. The proposal would also give rise to substantial public benefit by providing an excellent example of high-quality sustainable development which I believe will assist in raising the standard of residential development in Canberra.
MR SMYTH (Minister for Urban Services): For the information of members, I present the following papers:
Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991-Schedules-Leases granted, together with lease variations and change of use charges for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 March 2000.
I ask for leave to make a short statement.
Leave granted.
