I also support Ms Lawder’s amendment which seeks a change from 15 to 20 working days. I echo what she said about the workability or otherwise of the 15 days and that 20 days would be a much more workable amount of time for all concerned. Thank you, Ms Lawder, for your amendment, and thank you, Minister Gentleman, for implementing this parliamentary agreement item.
MR GENTLEMAN (Brindabella—Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Minister for Planning and Land Management and Minister for Urban Renewal) (11.40): I thank members for their contributions. As I discussed earlier, this amendment is about the requirement for 15 working days, which has been the subject of discussion between my office, Ms Lawder’s office and Ms Le Couteur’s office. I want to thank my staff for the work they have done, as well as directorate officials, in ensuring that this is agreed to.
Amendment agreed to.
MS LAWDER (Brindabella) (11.41): I move amendment No 2 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 at page 3920]. It is consequential to the previous change and it is for the same reasons.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 4, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 5 and 6, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 7.
MR GENTLEMAN (Brindabella—Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Minister for Planning and Land Management and Minister for Urban Renewal) (11.42): I move amendment No 4 that has been circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 3919]. Government amendment 4 changes a cross-reference in new section 75(1)(c)(i) inserted by clause 7 as a consequence of government amendment No 1. The new cross-reference is to section 73(2B), which permits the minister to request a report within a period of less than six months for a light rail related variation but only in the circumstances set out in new section 73(2A), also inserted by government amendment No 1. Essentially, a draft plan variation must be related to light rail and the minister must be satisfied that the shorter period will minimise the risk of delay to the development of light rail.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 7, as amended, agreed to.
Remainder of bill, by leave, taken as a whole and agreed to.
Bill, as amended, agreed to.
