status. The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that the meaning of the clause is clear.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 252, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 253.
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (9.14): I move amendment No 99 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
Amendment 99 substitutes a new clause 253 into the bill. It makes a new provision that the minister must not decide a development application to vary a lease to remove its concessional status unless the minister decides whether it is in the public interest to do so. New subclause 253 (2) sets out what the minister must consider in deciding whether it is in the public interest to consider the application and the minister must give notice of the decision to the planning and land authority. The decision of the minister as to the public interest is not subject to merit review at the AAT. Amendment 115 deals with that. Amendment 99 should be read in conjunction with previous amendments 45 and 72 and forthcoming amendment 115.
