Dear Mr Savery

Re: Draft Variation to the Territory Plan No. 288 – Changes to Residential Zones Multi-Unit Housing Development Code Part A(5) and Residential Zone Changes for Blocks 3 and 4 Section 69 Lyons and Block 8 Section 47 Lyons

Pursuant to section 76(3)(b) of the Planning and Development Act 2007, I hereby direct the ACT Planning and Land Authority to consider revising draft Variation to the Territory Plan No. 288 in accordance with the recommendations of the Standing Committee on Planning, Public Works and Territory and Municipal Services and particularly recommendation 2 of the Committee to achieve the following outcome:

(a)	Protect the solar access requirements of developments on the same land, in addition to protecting adjacent land.

After considering revising draft Variation No. 288 in accordance with the above principle and any other relevant recommendations of the Committee and making any changes, the Variation is to be submitted to me for approval.

Yours sincerely

Andrew Barr MLA
