Land—Kenny
(Question No 3200)
Ms Le Couteur asked the Minister for Planning and Land Management, upon notice, on 24 July 2020:
(1) What is the current status of planning and preparation for land release in Kenny.
(2) What planning and preparation work has been completed to date.
(3) What planning and preparation work is yet to be completed.
(4) Will any community consultation be undertaken; if so, when.
(5) Is a Territory Plan variation required.
(6) What work was completed under the budget initiative “More jobs for our growing city – Urban renewal in Kenny – early planning”.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Planning and preparation work for the Kenny Future Urban Area (FUA) is continuing within the Environment Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD). In June 2019 Government announced a new high school in Kenny. EPSDD, Transport Canberra and City Services Directorate and the Education Directorate are working towards delivering the East Gungahlin High School for opening in 2023.
(2) Significant planning and preparation work has informed the planning and development capability of the Kenny FUA consistent with the outcomes of the Gungahlin Strategic Assessment, including surface and groundwater management. The requirement in the Strategic Assessment for an area of 160ha to be set aside for a future conservation area is also confirmed.
(3) The planning and preparation work for the residential component of the Kenny FUA is not yet completed. Action on the school precinct regarding release to the Education Directorate in 2021 to deliver the high school component for opening in 2023 is also yet to be completed.
(4) Community consultation associated with a technical amendment to put in place a precinct code to further guide the preparation of an Estate Development Plan (EDP) may be required.
(5) A Territory Plan variation is not expected to be required. However, a technical amendment will be required following the approval of an EDP to remove the FUA overlay.
