(2) Outside of the roles referred to in part (1), has the ACT Government sought to provide input into the development of Lawson North in any way; if so, can the Minister please describe.
(3) What mechanisms exist to make sure that Lawson North integrates well with Lawson stages 1 and 2, sold for development by the ACT Government.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Land to be developed as Lawson North national land and managed by the National Capital Authority (NCA) under Development Control Plan 12/09 (Belconnen Naval Transmission Station) (DCP12/09). The ACT Government does not have any role in the oversight or approval of the development. The ACT Government reviewed DCP12/09 in 2012 and will provide comments on the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 referral when the development proposal is referred to the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment.
(2) The NCA invited the ACT Government to comment on the amended draft DCP12/09 on 19 October 2012. The ACT Government provided comments received from the ACT Heritage Council and the Environment Protection Authority.
(3) Integration and connection with Lawson south is provided for in DCP12/09, available at https://www.nca.gov.au/development-control-plan/lawson-block-2-section-6-block-1-section-16-dcp-1209.
