MR GENTLEMAN: The master plan recommends rezoning part of the existing Holt and district playing fields and, for the potential expansion to respond to the need for additional commercial space in the group centre, the master plan requires that any potential loss of existing open space associated with future retail expansion be offset through the upgrading of and investment in community and sporting facilities across the centre, resulting in better outcomes for the community. This includes reinstating existing unused playing fields in other locations close to the centre, which may include upgrading turf, irrigation, a new pavilion perhaps and lighting and seating. Future decisions about the land use will be taken on a case-by-case basis with the community at the heart of those decisions.
Mr Barr: I ask that all further questions be placed on the notice paper.
Supplementary answers to questions without notice
O’Malley—illegal parking
MR RAMSAY: During question time I was asked about the number of parking infringements in Bulwarra Close. I advise the Assembly that there have been no infringements for Bulwarra Close during 2019, but there have been five parking infringements in O’Malley.
Parking—Palmerston
MR GENTLEMAN: In response to questions from Mr Milligan and Mr Coe about Palmerston shops I advise that my office has searched our records and cannot find any request for a meeting. Advice from officials from EPSDD is that they are not aware of correspondence in relation to the matter through my office either. I understand the shop owners from the Palmerston shops have had extensive engagement with the offices of both ministers Steel and Fitzharris as well as relevant departmental officials.
As I mentioned, I will be away very shortly but we will arrange a meeting with EPSDD as early as next week and when I return we will see if we can meet with them as well.
Public Accounts—Standing Committee
Corrigendum
MRS DUNNE (Ginninderra) (2.55): For the information of members, I table a corrigendum to the report of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts Report into commercial rates, which I foreshadowed this morning:
Public Accounts—Standing Committee—Report 6—Inquiry into Commercial Rates—Corrigendum.
