ISLINGTON DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT

The Hon. M. PARNELL (14:35): I have a supplementary question arising from the answer. Can the minister confirm that 'interim operation' means that any changes made to the development plan after public consultation will not apply to any development applications that are lodged now, during the interim operation period?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) (14:35): That is correct. I am sure that given, as I said, the area is currently zoned as general industry it would certainly be inappropriate if one did not have interim operation if there are development applications lodged now. If an application had been made and if it was complying with general industry, it would obviously be assessed under that zoning, and I am sure that the people of Kilburn would not want another foundry or, even it that was not permitted, some other like activity within that region. Obviously, given the activity taking place east of Churchill Road in that area involving the Housing SA redevelopment, we need to change the mix, and that is one of the important reasons for interim operation in relation to this matter.
