In response to a submission, the zoning has been changed for block 9, section 12, Hackett from the urban open space zone to the community facility zone. Previously, it had been proposed to retain the existing zoning and to add “place of worship” to allowable uses on the site. The change of zone better reflects the existing community hall and long-term use of the entire site.
A range of other changes were made to the variation following community consultation. These are intended to improve clarity and workability of the provisions. They are minor in nature and do not alter the policy of the Territory Plan. The full details of these changes are included in the approved variation document.
Following public consultation, I referred the draft variation to the Standing Committee on Planning and Urban Renewal for consideration. The committee subsequently advised that it did not intend to conduct an inquiry into DV 352. Given the nature and extent of changes made to draft variation 352 following public consultation, and in view of the standing committee’s decision, I am satisfied that the issues raised by the community have been addressed adequately.
I believe the changes made through variation No 352 support opportunities for development that meet community needs in some areas and improve the functionality and clarity of certain parts of the Territory Plan.
