I will come in on the more substantive issues when we deal with the section as opposed to the amendment. For clarification in respect of the amendment, in section 9B(1) it specifies that it is not less than three apartments with grouped or common access. I ask the Minister to speak to that, particularly in the context of the other section of the Bill we dealt with in which the definition of an apartment block is three apartments. Previously, in another section of the Bill, the Minister proposed a larger offset of 125% of costs to boost the profits of the developer, the apartment block was defined as ten or more apartments.
