happens. The Planning and Land Council, in its advice to the Planning and Land Authority, supported the draft variation, subject to any office development being permissible only after the swimming pool has been refurbished.
The third and fourth recommendations of the committee are that the proponents be required to provide security lighting for the car park on block 23 section 67, and that access to the Oasis Leisure Centre complies with relevant standards and guidelines. These recommendations are both design-related issues that will be addressed at the development application stage. I commend the variation to the Assembly.

• deleting the 12B area-specific policy overlay which applies to the showground, Hall village reserve and Halls Creek reserve and including these areas within the “urban open space land use” policy instead;
• including the Hall polocrosse field within the “urban open space land use” policy for consistency in land management; and
• expanding the boundary of the Hall cemetery on the principle that it is retained for its historic value and managed to protect endangered grassy woodland and endangered orchid specimens found on the site.
This draft variation was released for public comment on 4 December 2004 and three written submissions were received. These submissions raised concerns regarding land management and conservation, particularly within the existing cemetery and the new hills, ridges and buffer area. As a result of the consultation process, a revision was made to the variation to include the polocrosse field in urban open space to facilitate land
