I move amendment No. 130:

In page 60, to delete lines 27 to 29 and substitute the following: "(a) securing sustainable national and regional development strategies;

(b) maximising the potential of the regions, while supporting proper planning and sustainable development in urban and rural areas;".

As the Minister knows this relates to section 19 and the national planning framework. I am looking to insert two lines of text into the list of areas which the national planning framework should pertain to. The first is securing sustainable national regional development strategies and the second is maximising the potential of the regions while supporting proper planning and sustainable development in urban and rural areas. They are pretty self-explanatory. I am interested to hear the Minister's response and I may come back with questions or further comments afterwards.
