Land (Planning and Environment) Act Draft Variation No.175 to the Territory Plan  - Industrial Land Use Policies 2002
Notifiable instrument NI2002 — 137
made under the
Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991, Section 19(1) (Public Consultation)

Draft Variation to the Territory Plan No.175, has been prepared by the Planning and Land Management Group (PALM) of Urban Services (incorporating the functions of the ACT Planning Authority).  

This draft Variation proposes to completely replace the Industrial ‘B3’ Land Use Policies.  Industrial Land Use Policies apply to the industrial areas at Fyshwick, Mitchell, Hume and Symonston.

The draft Variation responds to new Part A of the Territory Plan principles by adding sustainable development and industrial ecology objectives.

Under the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 (the Land Act) s9, draft Variation No.175 has interim effect until 15 May 2003, or for the “defined period”, whichever is the shorter.  The “defined period” commenced on 16 May 2002 and continues until the proposals in the draft Variation, or the corresponding Plan Variation:
•	come into effect;
•	or are rejected by the Legislative Assembly;
•	or are withdrawn.

During the period these provisions have interim effect the Territory, the Executive, a Minister or a Territory Authority shall not do, or approve the doing of, any act which would be inconsistent with the Territory Plan, or the Plan if it was varied in accordance with the provisions of the draft Variation.

Section 11 of the Land Act, concerning the Heritage Places Register, does not apply to this proposal.

From Monday 20 May 2002 until Monday 1 July 2002, copies of draft Variation No.175 to the Territory Plan, may be:

•	inspected at ACT Government Libraries at Belconnen, Civic, Dickson, Erindale, Griffith, Gungahlin, Kippax, Tuggeranong and Woden during normal opening hours;
