appointment, hence the reference to the board chair. I can advise the Assembly that in practice the board would decide that the contract under the Public Sector Management Act 1994 must be signed by a “person”.
Amendment negatived.
Clause 27 agreed to.
Clause 28.
MR COE (Yerrabi—Leader of the Opposition) (5.12): I move amendment No 18 circulated in my name [see schedule 4 at page 1778]. The opposition is proposing to add an additional valuer to act in the best interests of the community. We believe this is appropriate for the CEO. We think that the current legislation is deficient without such an important statement.
MR BARR (Kurrajong—Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development and Minister for Tourism and Major Events) (5.13): The government will not be supporting this amendment. We think it is unnecessary. It states what is already implicit, that the authority’s CEO must comply with the laws of the territory.
Amendment negatived.
Clause 28 agreed to.
Clause 29.
MR COE (Yerrabi—Leader of the Opposition) (5.13), by leave: I move amendments Nos 19 and 20 circulated in my name together [see schedule 4 at page 1778]. As I have already flagged, I think these provisions are self-explanatory.
MR BARR (Kurrajong—Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development and Minister for Tourism and Major Events) (5.14): Again, the government will not be supporting these amendments. The objects of the act already refer to promoting and facilitating the orderly and efficient delivery of residential, commercial and industrial development in the public interest, including urban renewal. The existing provision already amounts to the same thing, without opening debate on what is the public interest, needing to define “community” or how to assess best interests, as we have previously considered in an earlier amendment.
Amendments negatived.
Clause 29 agreed to.
Clauses 30 to 35, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 36.
