MR BARR: I move amendments Nos 59 and 60 circulated in my name together [see schedule 1 at page 2065].

Amendment No 59 inserts new clause 178 (1) (aa) in the bill to clarify that a representation must have been made in conjunction with clause 178 (1) (c). This amendment, in conjunction with amendment No 60, clarifies that there is an automatic delay of 20 working days to the commencement of the development approval if, and only if, a representation has been made and there is potential for third-party merit review.

Amendments agreed to.

Clause 178, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 179.

MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (8.20): I move amendment No 61 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].

This amendment revises clause 178 (1) (c) of the bill to omit the words “, including beginning a new use or a change of use”. As we have previously discussed, the omitted words are no longer necessary given the new global definition of “use” in the new clause 7A.

Amendment agreed to.

MR SESELJA (Molonglo) (8.21): I move amendment No 5 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 at page 2099].

I refer to my previous comments in relation to use of development. This is why we are moving this amendment.

Amendment negatived.

MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (8.22): I move amendment No 62 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].

This amendment inserts a new note after clause 179 (3) in the bill to clarify that the development approval does not end when the building work is completed within the required statutory period. Development approvals are to last indefinitely. It has companion amendments, Nos 64, 68 and 70, which similarly amend clauses 180 (2), 181 (2) and 182 (2) of the bill respectively.

MR SESELJA (Molonglo) (8.22): I move amendment No 6 on the blue sheet, which amends Mr Barr’s amendment No 62 [see schedule 3 at page 2102].
