Mr. Robin Mandal:

Of course. I will be as brief as I can. Regarding the development plans, where we are coming from is that the development plan process is crucial to all this, and what has caused all the problems is that it has effectively been torn in half through a lot of this well-intentioned legislation, particularly section 28(1)(c), which basically makes nothing determinate, so, yes, I agree that there has to be a little more detail in development plans.

The resources will be very hard to apply. We have got to be honest about that, but the simple tools, such as plot ratios, site coverage, densities and heights, do not require too much. It just needs some level of certainty for everybody involved, from the developer to the citizen in order that you know what you are dealing with and people can buy into what you are doing. That is as quick an answer as I can give. Yes, we need resources but we should not forget the old things that have dealt with much of the development in our towns, cities and villages, which has been very good over the years.
