Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2001 Week 3 Hansard (6 March) . . Page.. 670 ..

Amendment agreed to.

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Attorney-General) (9.53): Mr Speaker, I move amendment No 28 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 part 1 at page 679].

To avoid barren debate and argument about section 2, this ensures that the valuer must take into account other matters.

Amendment agreed to.

MS TUCKER (9.54): I move amendment No 19 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 part 1 at page 690].

This is about procedural fairness. We believe it is only procedural fairness that parties to a lease are advised as a matter of course that they have the right to make a submission in relation to the valuation. It is no great burden on the process to ensure that the parties are given information on the rights, whereas the act as it exists would on occasion see uninformed tenants disadvantaged. This amendment requires the valuer to advise the parties to a lease that they do have a right to make a submission.

Amendment agreed to.

MS TUCKER (9.55): I ask for leave to move amendment No 20 circulated in my name.

Leave granted.

MS TUCKER: I move amendment No 20 [see schedule 2 part 1 at page 690]

This is in the interest of transparency. It is a simple amendment which requires the valuation to include particulars of the matters that the valuer has taken into account.

Amendment agreed to.

MS TUCKER (9.56): I ask for leave to move my amendment No 21.

Leave granted.

MS TUCKER: I move that amendment circulated in my name [see schedule 2 part 1 at page 690].

My amendment varies the information that the valuer must disclose so that it is not only rental concessions relevant to the valuation but also any relevant inducements or concessions-for example, fitouts that may have a bearing on the valuation.

Amendment agreed to.

Schedule 2, as amended, agreed to.

Postponed clause 2.
