The two land activation measures were mentioned. It is important to point out that the zoned land tax was legislated for but was then parked for a year. I really hope and push for that to come in and be activated in the finance Bill this year because it is an important measure.

The committee has done its work on land-value sharing. We have sent back our pre-legislative scrutiny report and recommendations on that. I am unsure as to when we will see that Bill published. It is important, if we are talking about land activation measures, that we do not just talk about it but actually implement those measures and legislation in that regard.
