Notifiable instrument NI2002—322
made under the
Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991, Section 19(1) (Public Consultation)

Draft Variation to the Territory Plan No.202 relating to the Jamison Centre Master Plan, has been prepared by the Planning and Land Management Group (PALM) of Urban Services (incorporating the functions of the ACT Planning Authority).
 
The draft Variation, if adopted, would change the Land Use Policy for part Block 16 Section 50 Macquarie to Urban Open Space to formalise a public park and to establish a playground area.  It also proposes to rearrange the precinct boundaries within the group centre and to add clauses to the Area Specific Policies to vary the restrictions placed on residential developments in Precinct ‘b’ as well as increase the acceptable plot ratio and building heights within the group centre.

Section 9 of the Land Planning and Environment Act 1991 applies to draft Variation No.202. The draft Variation has interim effect for a maximum period of 1 year commencing on 25 October 2002 and ending on 
24 October 2003.  During this period, or a period commencing on 
25 October 2002 and termination at the expiration of the day before: 
•	the date the draft Variation comes into effect;
•	the date the corresponding plan variation is rejected by the Legislative Assembly; or
•	the date the draft variation, or the corresponding plan variation, is withdrawn by the Planning Authority of the Minister; 
whichever is shorter, the Territory, the Executive, the Minister or a Territory Authority shall not do any act, or approve the doing of any act that –
a)	would be inconsistent with the Territory Plan, if it were varied in accordance with the draft Variation; or
b)	is inconsistent with the Territory Plan.

Section 11 of the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 (the Land Act), concerning the Heritage Places Register, does not apply to this proposal.
