I will address the move to a ten-year development plan process with a five-year review. We teased out some of that but that change will require a significant additional land bank to be zoned for various purposes. What is the thinking of the Department in that regard? Has that discussion been had with the regulator? The officials will be aware that some local authority members take the view that the regulator has been overly harsh on their zoning. Some may have a differing view that the regulator is not being harsh enough. What is the thought process regarding the quantum of zoned land for a ten-year development plan process over and above a six-year process?
