Ms AnnMarie Farrelly:

Our opinion is that when all of these pieces of legislation align, it will improve the planning system. It will bring clarity as to how we might activate land. There are penalties and encouragement as well as in terms of plan making and the various taxes. When the legislation is gotten right, it will improve the system.

Regarding the section on page 1, that was a safeguard from our perspective. We have been going through the Bill in detail, but just in case we misinterpreted something we included that safeguard. It indicates that we have gone through this and we may not have interpreted the Bll correctly based on the time we had available to assess it, so it is just a caveat.

There is ongoing engagement with the CCMA about the proposed legislation and then when it gets to Bill stage, but it is a work in progress. It is not right until it is right, so to speak.
