Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act Regulations

The Hon. M.C. PARNELL (16:58): I move:

That the general regulations under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 concerning Planning and Development Fund (No. 2) Variation, made on 18 March 2021 and laid on the table of this council on 30 March 2021, be disallowed.

Everyone knows what this is; everyone knows what to do. It is the seventh time that we have moved the disallowance of these regulations, and I expect that either my colleague Tammy Franks or my replacement will bring this to a vote on the next Wednesday of sitting, being Wednesday 5 May. This is the seventh time we will have voted on disallowing regulations that allow the government to raid the open space fund for the purpose of administration. It was always a bad idea. The government says they are going to stop doing it on 1 July. I would like them to stop earlier.

Debate adjourned on motion of Hon. I.K. Hunter.
