Australian Capital Territory
Planning and Development (Draft Variation No 324) Public Availability Notice 2014
Notifiable Instrument NI2014—8
made under the
Planning and Development Act 2007, section 70 (Public notice of documents given to Minister) and section 71 (Public availability notice—notice of interim effect etc)

The planning and land authority, within the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate (ESDD), is making available for public inspection Draft Variation No 324, including the related documents listed below, which has been given to the Minister for approval:
•	background papers
•	a report on consultation, including:
•	a written report setting out the issues raised in any written comments (including consultation comments) about the variation
•	a written report about the Authority’s consultation with the public, the National Capital Authority, the Conservator of Flora and Fauna, the Environment Protection Authority, the Heritage Council and the land custodian, being the Territory and Municipal Services Directorate 

The draft variation was prepared to rezone an area of land comprising approximately 7.8ha in Pialligo, District of Majura on the Western side of Majura Road, opposite Majura Park, from broadacre (NUZ1) to mixed use industrial (IZ2).  The variation was prepared in conjunction with the National Capital Authority’s draft rezoning of the subject land from ‘broadacre’ to ‘urban’ on the National Capital Plan. The rezoning will enable opportunities for large bulky goods retailing, freight transport, warehousing and distribution operations. 

Draft Variation No 324 and related documents are available for viewing online at www.act.gov.au/recommendedvariations and at the ESDD shopfront at 16 Challis Street, Dickson from Monday to Friday (except public holidays) between 8:30am and 4:30pm.

Effect of the draft variation 
Section 65 of the Act does not apply in relation to the draft variation so it does not have interim effect.  The current Territory Plan will continue to apply while the variation remains in draft form.
