(1) Has the Directorate or the Minister had feedback after the ACT Planning Strategy 2018 was released from Community Councils and the community more broadly on whether there should have been consultation on a draft Strategy; if so, what is that feedback.
(2) Does page 39 of the Strategy where it discusses “Areas close to local centres (400 metres/average 5 minute walk)”, relate to a particular action of the Strategy; if so, which action, and is this action either already underway or funded for commencement in the next two years.
(3) Why does the housing preferences data on the bottom of page 28 of the Strategy differ from the data included in Figure 6 on page 20 of the Housing Choices Discussion Paper last year.
(4) Is the new survey publicly available; if so, (a) where and (b) can the Minister provide a copy of the survey report.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The Minister and the Directorate have not received any written feedback since the release of the ACT Planning Strategy 2018 about whether a draft Strategy should have been released for consultation.
(2) The discussion about “Areas close to local centres (400 metres/average 5 minute walk)” on page 39 of the ACT Planning Strategy relates to the identification of possible future areas that could be suited to medium density housing (particularly relating to Action 4.4.2). The implementation of this action is currently progressing within existing resources.
(3) The housing preferences cited in the Housing Choices Discussion Paper were drawn from a 2014 survey that was limited to residents living only in areas zoned ‘residential’ under the Territory Plan which had been established for at least five years. The data cited on page 28 of the ACT Planning Strategy 2018 was sourced from the ‘ACT Housing Attitudes and Intentions Survey 2016’, which was a resident survey unrestricted by Territory Plan zones.
(4) The ‘ACT Housing Attitudes and Intentions Survey 2016’ cited on page 28 of the ACT Planning Strategy 2018 has not been made publicly available.
