MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (10.33): I move amendment No 128 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].

This amendment inserts a new clause 428C into new part 15.2A to provide that upon commencement of the Planning and Development Act the planning strategy for the ACT will be the Canberra spatial plan and the sustainable transport plan. This clause ensures that on commencement of the new planning system there is a planning strategy for the ACT that is comprised of the ACT government’s current strategic land use planning documents.

Proposed new clause 428C agreed to.

Clause 429 agreed to.

Clause 430.

MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (10.34): I move amendment No 129 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].

This amendment inserts after the words “repealed Act” the words “(including the territory plan and any other instruments under the repealed Act)” in clause 430 (2) of the bill. The note clarifies that the repealed Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991, the territory plan and other instruments made under the repealed land act continue to apply to development applications made before the Planning and Development Act takes effect.

Clause 430, as amended, agreed to.

Proposed new clause 430A.

MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (10.35): I move amendment No 130 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].

This amendment inserts new clause 430A into the bill to provide transitional provisions for applications for review not finally decided. This transitional clause applies to development applications made prior to the commencement of the Planning and Development Act and which are still undecided at the time of commencement of the act. The new clause makes it clear that such applications must be decided in accordance with the repealed land act and the former territory plan and any other relevant subordinate instruments made under the repealed land act.

Proposed new clause 430A agreed to.

Clause 431.
