Notifiable Instrument NI2015—204
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 Planning Directorate (EPD), is making available for public inspection Draft Variation No 321, including the related documents listed below, which has been given to the Minister for approval:
•	the background paper, being the Pialligo master plan
•	a written report on consultation that includes all of the following:
•	a report setting out the issues raised in any written comments including consultation comments about the draft variation
•	a 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 incorporate the recommendations of the Pialligo master plan to retain and protect the agricultural use of the land while encouraging low scale agricultural related or ancillary commercial uses along Beltana Road, and providing the opportunity for an emergency services facility to be located at the corner of Pialligo Avenue and Beltana Road.

Draft Variation No 321 and related documents are available for viewing online at www.act.gov.au/recommendedvariations and at the EPD 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 72 of the Planning and Development Act 2007 applies to the draft variation, which is effectively part of the Territory Plan for a period of up to one year from the date of this notice unless the draft variation commences, is withdrawn or rejected by the Legislative Assembly.  
A development application assessed during this period can only be approved if it is not inconsistent with the Territory Plan (as it is currently) and the Territory Plan if it were varied in accordance with the draft variation.  In this way, both existing and proposed future policy are considered at the time of development assessment during the period of effect.
