MR HIRD

(4.10): Mr Speaker, I present the following report:

Planning and Urban Services-Standing Committee-Report No 65-Draft variation (No 166) to the Territory Plan-Clearance Zone Policies-Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre, dated 6 February 2001, together with a copy of the extracts of the minutes of proceedings.

Mr Speaker, you authorised the printing, publication and circulation of this report on 8 February 2001, pursuant to the committee's resolution of appointment. I move:

That the report be noted.

Mr Speaker, the 65th report by the Planning and Urban Service Committee deals with draft variation No 166 to the Territory Plan. This draft variation proposes to restructure the Territory Plan to create a new overlay provision for clearance zones. Clearance zones preclude the construction of any structure used for long-term habitation within the zone.

Members will note that the first application of this new provision is in relation to the Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre. Following public hearings on this matter, the committee is happy to endorse this draft variation. I commend the report to the house.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Report No 66

MR HIRD (4.12): Mr Speaker, I present the following report:

Planning and Urban Services-Standing Committee-Report No 66-Draft variation (No 118) to the Territory Plan-Heritage Places Register-Yarralumla Brickworks, Yarralumla and Federal Capital Commission (FCC) Type 15 House, Forrest, dated 6 February 2001, together with a copy of the extracts of the minutes of proceedings.

Mr Speaker, you authorised the printing, publication and circulation of this report on 8 February this year, pursuant to the committee's resolution of appointment. I move:

That the report be noted.

Mr Speaker, I have pleasure in tabling report No 66 of the Planning and Urban Services Committee. The report deals with two additional entries to the Heritage Places Register: the Yarralumla Brickworks and the Federal Capital Commission-type 15 house located in Forrest. The committee endorses these entries.

In doing so, the committee would like to draw members' attention to the significance of the Yarralumla Brickworks. It is appropriate in this year of the celebration of the centenary of federation to recognise the role of the brickworks in the development of the national capital. We strongly recommend that any proposal for adaptive reuse of the brickworks be thoroughly scrutinised to ensure that the heritage value of this site remains
