Mr Speaker, in the second half of 2007, the Children and Young People Commissioner will establish an advisory group of young people to develop a website to inform young people of opportunities for participation and consultation. We are also developing a number of strategies to assist young people transitioning to longer-term accommodation, transitioning from Quamby and who are in foster care and have attained the age of 18 years but are still attending school. Funding of $3 million per year is provided for 10 supported accommodation assistance program services for young people. All SAAP services are designed to support people to transition to sustainable, long-term accommodation.
There are many successes to date highlighted in the progress report of the young people’s plan 2004-2008. In tabling this progress report, I would like to acknowledge the work of my colleagues, their respective departments and many community agencies for their ongoing commitment to the young people of Canberra. I look forward to future reports and achievements as we address and respond to our commitment as a community and government to all young people and commend this report to the Assembly.
I move:
That the report be noted.

Land (Planning and Environment) Act, pursuant to section 216A—Schedules—Leases granted, together with lease variations and change of use charges for the period 1 January to 31 March 2007—
I ask leave to make a statement in relation to the papers.

MR BARR: 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 January 2007 to 31 March 2007. During the quarter, fifteen leases were issued by direct grant.
