I ask for leave to make a statement in relation to the papers.
Leave granted.
MR BARR: Draft variation No 259 to the territory plan proposes to change the land use policies and precinct boundaries for the Woden town centre in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Woden town centre master plan. The draft variation also proposes to delete the existing plot ratio controls for precinct “c” for all town centres. The preliminary assessment provisions in appendix II of the territory plan for all town centre areas will be amended by removing the requirement for preliminary assessments for buildings greater than 7,000 square metres in gross floor area and/or 28 metres in height.
The variation was released for public comment in August 2005 and attracted 12 written comments. Minor revisions to the exhibited draft variation in response to the public submissions and refining of the land use controls were made. The Standing Committee on Planning and Environment, in its report released in October, made 10 recommendations in relation to the draft variation, among which was a recommendation that the government proceed with its implementation. The government has considered the issues raised, and a government response that provides a detailed response to the committee’s recommendations has been prepared.
