MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (8.26): I seek leave to move amendments Nos 66 to 69 circulated in my name together.
Leave granted.
MR BARR: I move amendments Nos 66 to 69 circulated in my name together [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
Amendment No 66 revises clause 181 (1) (a) of the bill to omit the words “, including beginning a new use or a change of use”. Again, the omitted words are no longer necessary given the new global definition of “use” in clause 7 (a). It is similarly the case for a couple of the other amendments: No 67 substitutes a clause 181 (2) (d) of the bill to clarify that the development approval does not end because the relevant lease is surrendered; and amendment No 68, which was a companion amendment to amendment No 62.
Finally, amendment No 69 substitutes clause 181 (3) of the bill to clarify when development approvals end. The clause clarifies that, when a development approval is granted that covers multiple uses, the requirement for commencement of the use within two years is satisfied if just one of the approved uses is commenced. If there is only one use allowed under the development approval and the use is not begun within the two years of approval, the development approval ends at the end of that two-year period. If more than one use is allowed under the development approval, and none of the uses have begun within the two-year approval, the development approval ends at the end of the two-year period.
Amendments agreed to.
Clause 181, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 182.
MR SESELJA (Molonglo) (8.28): I will be opposing this clause [see schedule 2 at page 2099]. It relates to end of development approvals for use. We do not think that concept should be in the bill.
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (8.28): I move amendment No 70 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
This is a companion amendment to amendment No 62. It inserts a new note in clause 182 (2) of the bill and clarifies that a development approval does not end when building work is completed within the required statutory period.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 182, as amended, agreed to.
Proposed new clause 182A.
