Southern Metropolitan Region

David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:52): (1535) My matter is for the Minister for Planning today. As a constituent of my region, Southern Metro, you will understand that I am very concerned about a number of the government’s announcements of multiple activity centres and a number of the planning amendments that have been introduced which overlay these areas of my electorate of Southern Metropolitan Region. What I would ask the Minister for Planning to do is to publish details of how the new planning arrangements will interact with heritage overlays. I can indicate that my reading and the reading of a number of planners is that the new government amendments will wipe out any effect of the heritage protections. I want the minister to, in a detailed way, release maps that show where the heritage protections will persist and remain in place.
