CHELTENHAM PARK

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:40): I have a supplementary question. Can the minister inform the council of the maximum height of the buildings within the development plan and the expected number of people who will live on the site?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:40): A development plan amendment actually sets the guidelines for what can be built. It talks about densities but, of course, ultimately the design will be that put forward by the developers. Yes, it must conform to the development plan and, if the honourable member wants to read the specific details, he can obtain a copy of it. It has been out since August last year. How many houses are on there will ultimately depend. One can have maximum limits, but that does not mean one will necessarily exceed the maximum. But there is provision for medium densities, particularly near the transport corridors. Obviously, the number of people who will ultimately be on that site will depend on what is proposed.
