(3) If no Territory Plan Variation is required will a development application be required for the expansion of the cemetery; if so, has a development application been lodged.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) A Territory Plan variation would be required prior to any expansion of the Woden Cemetery into the adjacent Edison Park. Edison Park is currently zoned PRZ1 Urban Open Space with a Pe Urban Open Space overlay. Any extension of the cemetery into Edison Park would require the overlay to be amended to a Pf Cemetery or Burial Ground overlay.
(2) A Territory Plan variation would be required:
(a) this would take the form of a full variation,
(b) the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate is progressing a request from the ACT Public Cemeteries Authority to potentially change the Territory Plan to allow expansion of the Woden Cemetery, and
(c) the ACT Public Cemeteries Authority has consulted the community already on this proposal, and if a Territory Plan variation for the site is undertaken, the process would involve further consultation with the community.
(3) As previously advised, a Territory Plan variation would be required.
