MR BARR: I move amendments Nos 18 to 20 circulated in my name together [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
Amendment No 18 revises clause 111 (2) of the bill to replace the reference to code requirements with “rules”. The restructured territory plan refers to rules and criteria instead of code requirements and merit criteria. There are a number of companion amendments—Nos 138, 147 and 157—in addition to amendment No 19, with its companion amendments, Nos 20, 148 and 150.
MR SESELJA (Molonglo) (5.26): This is one of those annoying amendments. I just got used to the terminology of a big 400-page bill and now we need to change it. Nonetheless, the government assures us there are really good reasons for this so we are not going to be opposing it.
Amendments agreed to.
Clause 111, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 112 agreed to.
Clause 113.
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (5.28): I move amendment No 21 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
Amendment No 21 inserts a new clause 113 (3) into the bill to clarify that the ACT Planning and Land Authority may refuse to accept a development application made in an assessment track other than the assessment track for the development proposal. If the authority assesses a development application made in an assessment track other than the track for the proposal, the authority must refuse the application. Thus a development application that is made in the wrong track can either be not accepted, or accepted, assessed and refused, but cannot be granted.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 113, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 114.
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (5.29): I seek leave to move amendments Nos 22 to 27 circulated in my name together.
Leave granted.
MR BARR: I move amendments Nos 22 to 27 circulated in my name together [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
