(3) Has the owner of the Coombs Shops sought a Territory Plan Variation for the shops site over the past two years; if so, (a) what was the nature of the proposed Variation and (b) is the Government intending to proceed with it.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Yes. Under the Territory Plan’s Molonglo and North Weston Structure Plan there are broad principle and policy requirements relating to employment within the Molonglo Valley such as through commercial centres, community facilities and schools.
The Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD) has finalised a Planning and Design Framework (PDF) for Molonglo Stage 3 that further articulates employment requirements and principles relating to the future suburb of Whitlam and two unnamed suburbs, north of the Molonglo River. The PDF’s purpose is to guide detailed planning and development with Stage 3.
Further planning is currently underway for the Molonglo Valley’s main commercial centre precinct within the future suburb of Molonglo. This commercial precinct will accommodate future commercial, retail and other employment generating uses.
(2) Yes. The Territory Plan Variation 281 enables urban development in parts of the Molonglo Valley and North Weston through the introduction of urban zones and a structure plan for Molonglo and North Weston. This includes provision for commercial areas that will provide for trade services. This is informing the ongoing planning and development of this area.
(3) A variation to the Territory Plan has not been sought from the owner of the Coombs shops.
