Variation 359 removes the sport and recreation reserve public land overlay from the Territory Plan map for block 10 section 6 Tharwa, as this is a historical mapping error and not applicable to the block. The variation also introduces built form controls in the Tharwa precinct map and code, including building and height controls, setbacks and plot ratio restrictions, to reflect the existing or desired character of the village.
Variation 359 was released for public comment on 11 September 2018, until 24 October 2018, and received no public submissions during this time. A report on consultation was prepared by the ACT planning and land authority in accordance with section 69 of the Planning and Development Act.

The standing committee advised that they did not intend to conduct an inquiry, and I subsequently approved the variation.
