MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (8.29): I move amendment No 71 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].

This amendment inserts a new clause 182A in the bill to confirm that a development approval persists indefinitely unless it ends in accordance with the circumstances specified in clauses 179 to 182 of the bill. This clause puts the effect of those provisions beyond any doubt.

MR SESELJA (Molonglo) (8.29): I move amendment No 8 on the blue sheet, which amends Mr Barr’s amendment No 71 [see schedule 3 at page 2102].

Amendment No 8 on the blue sheet omits proposed new clause 182A (1) (c) and (d).

Amendment No 8 negatived.

Amendment No 71 agreed to.

Proposed new clause 182A agreed to.

Clauses 183 and 184, by leave, taken together and agreed to.

Clause 185.

MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (8.30): I move amendment No 72 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].

This amendment will substitute a new clause 185 (2) to provide that the clause does not apply to the refusal of the development application to which division 9.4.2—varying concessional leases to remove concessional status—applies if the minister decides that considering the application is not in the public interest, as well as a refusal of an application in the code track. Thus the reconsideration process cannot be used to reassess the refusal of a development application if that refusal was required because of a decision by the minister under clause 253, and that the removal of the concessional status from the lease is not in the public interest. This amendment should be read in conjunction with previous amendment No 45 and forthcoming amendments Nos 99 and 115.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 185, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 186 agreed to.

Clause 187.

MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (8.32):
