(2) Two since 2012.
(3) Time frames for development are dependent on lease conditions, development approvals, and building approvals. There is no requirement to redevelop an already developed site. This is because a site may have an existing structure on it that is appropriate for use. There is a requirement for leases to be used in accordance with the lease purpose and leaving a site unused for an extended period of time may constitute a failure to comply with this provision of the lease.
(4) Failure to develop a site that is unused may constitute a failure to use a lease in accordance with the lease purpose clause. Penalties for non-compliance with the terms of a lease, including lease purpose clauses, are outlined at Chapter 11 of the Planning and Development Act 2007. These penalties are generally not applied where there is a current development approval as the leaseholder has demonstrated their intention to use the site in accordance with its lease purpose. Under the development approval system, an approval may expire if not commenced or completed within the specified time and a new approval will be required to continue with the development. Undertaking development without approval also attracts penalties.
(5) Both the Planning and Development Act 2007 (the Act) (see Part 11.6) and territory leases (99-year leases) include provisions to terminate a lease in specified circumstances following a contravention of the Act or a provision of the lease. These powers have not been used since the commencement of the Act.
ACT Health and Canberra Health Services—performance reports
(Question No 3064)
Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for Health, upon notice, on 19 June 2020:
(1) Has the Minister received the quarterly performance report for the third quarter of 2019-20 from ACT Health and Canberra Health Services; if not, why not and when will the Minister receive the quarterly performance report; if so, when will the Minister publish the quarterly performance report and what is the reason for the delays.
(2) When will the quarterly performance report for the fourth quarter be published.
Ms Stephen-Smith: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1. It is anticipated that the Quarter 3 QPR will be with my office in early July and will be published shortly thereafter.
The Quarter 3, 2019-20 Quarterly Performance Report (QPR) has not yet been received by my office. The reason for the delay is that key staff have been required to reprioritize their work to focus on our response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. It is anticipated that the Quarter 4, 2019-20 QPR will be published in September 2020.
