I have a question for the Climate Change Advisory Council. A couple of comments today feed into the question of prioritisation of development. If there is too much zoning, how do we focus where development should take place? I think it was mentioned that, in some cases, settlement boundaries are very big. Is there a case for an inner boundary in a settlement? Instead of having compact growth in a certain percentage, there would be within the settlement boundaries inner compact growth and outer compact growth. Perhaps it is an issue for the OPR. It would be in order to focus the minds.
