Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 8 Hansard (29 August) . . Page.. 2561 ..
MR SMYTH (continuing):
of the site for educational purposes". The conservation policy has been amended to respond to the committee's recommendation.
At the same time, a reference to the cultural purpose has been added to the policy to ensure that there is no suggestion that other appropriate uses are excluded. This change will allow for compatible and related uses such as a library, an art gallery or a museum. The conservation policy now states:
The features intrinsic to the heritage significance of the place are to be conserved, maintained and used consistent with the heritage significance of the place and reflecting its role in the educational and cultural history of Canberra. This is best achieved through continued use of the place for educational and/or cultural purposes.
I now table variation 110 to the Territory Plan for the Heritage Places Register.
MR SMYTH (Minister for Urban Services): Mr Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the information of members, I present the following paper:
Land (Planning and Environment) Act-Schedules-Leases granted, together with lease variations and change of use charges for the period 1 April 2000 to 30 June 2000.
I ask for leave to make a short statement.
Leave granted.
MR SMYTH: Section 216A of the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 specifies that a statement be tabled in the Legislative Assembly outlining details of leases granted by direct grant, leases granted to community organisations, leases granted for less than market value, and leases granted over public land. The schedule I now table covers leases granted for the period 1 April 2000 to 30 June 2000. I am also tabling two other schedules relating to variations approved and change of use charges for the same period.
In September 1997, my colleague, Mr Humphries, the then Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning, tabled a disallowable instrument (No 228 of 1997) for the direct grant of land for any or all of commercial, residential, industrial and tourism purposes. In the tabling statement, Mr Humphries indicated that a copy of the lease, and a statement setting out why the lease was granted, would be tabled in the Assembly.
I wish to table for the benefit of members copies of two leases granted under disallowable instrument No 228 of 1997. The first lease was granted to Prime Television for part of block 6, section 64, Watson, to enable an extension of the existing communications facilities on block 5, section 64, Watson. The consolidated parcel is now known as block 8.
