    AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY Editor: John Ashe Planning and Land Bill 2002 On 27 June 2002 the Minister for Planning, Simon Corbell, tabled legislation to establish a new Planning and Land Authority to manage the Territory’s planning and land functions. The Bill implements an election promise made before the Legislative Assembly election in October 2001. The proposed authority will have responsibility for the planning, leasing, land administration, development assessment and building control functions currently managed by the Planning and Land Management Group in the Department of Urban Services. The Authority will also be responsible for the policy aspects of land development, and will incorporate the responsibilities of the present Commissioner for Land and Planning. Mr Corbell said that the Authority will have the power to make development decisions in its own right rather than as the Minister’s delegate, and day-to-day decisions will be free from ministerial or other political involvement. The Authority will be led by a Chief Planning Executive and staffed by public servants. It will be advised by a new expert Planning and Land Council of up to seven appointees with expert qualifications and experience covering a range of disciplines. The Council will provide advice to both the Minister and the Authority. The Bill also provides for the return of land development in the ACT from the private to the public sector by the creation of a Land Development Agency.
