Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
With regard to the levy envisaged, it is set at a paltry level. When one compares this treatment with that meted out to first-time buyers, one can clearly see on whose side the Government stands. While I applaud the aspirations behind the amendments, the Bill waters down the provisions for social inclusion and panders to the demands of developers in this regard.
