Consideration in committee.

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: I move:

That the Legislative Council's amendments be agreed to.

The CHAIR: Mr Teague, you wish to speak to the amendments?

Mr TEAGUE: Yes, just insofar as to invite the minister to place on the record some indication of what the amendments are achieving and their source and so on, for the purposes of the record, if nothing else.

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION: I am happy to put those matters on record for the house. These amendments just seek to incorporate sections 36, 38A, 39A and 39B from the Heritage Places Act into this bill. Most of those, or nearly all of those, relate to demolition by neglect. We do not think that will be an issue for the Cranker hotel, but as far as these amendments strengthen the bill we are happy to accept them.

The CHAIR: The question before the Chair is that the amendments be agreed to.

Motion carried.
