Legislative Assembly 3224 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday 18 June 2002 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Henry Murray) took the chair at 2.15 p.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS Mr SPEAKER: It is my pleasure to draw the attention of honourable members to the presence in the gallery of the President of the Democratic Republic of East Timor, Mr Xanana Gusmao, who is accompanied by a distinguished delegation. Members will be aware that, over time, the New South Wales Parliament has had a close association with East Timor, and many honourable members have spoken about the difficulties in that area. In fact, some of our colleagues, as well as officers of this Parliament, assisted in the referendum that resulted in East Timor becoming an independent country, and also joined in the formation of the world's newest nation. Your Excellency, it is a great honour for us to have you visit our Parliament. You have received a warm welcome. Indeed, in all the time I have been a member of this House, that was the most spontaneous welcome I have seen. I hope you enjoy your stay in Sydney.

QUEEN ELIZABETH II GOLDEN JUBILEE BOURKE CITRUS INDUSTRY GIFT Ministerial Statement Mr AMERY (Mount Druitt—Minister for Agriculture, and Minister for Corrective Services) [2.23 p.m.]: I always take advantage of an opportunity such as this to highlight the success and quality of this State's agricultural products. I congratulate the community of Bourke on sending a carton of sweet navel oranges to Buckingham Palace to help Queen Elizabeth II celebrate her Golden Jubilee. The oranges were a Golden Jubilee present to Her Majesty from the citrus industry at Bourke and from children at the Cornerstone Community Christian School at Pera Bore, which is just outside Bourke and is better known as Darling Farms. The oranges were grown at Back O'Bourke Fruits, whose chief executive officer, Philip Mansell, donated 50 or of his best Lang navel oranges. Children at the school spent time researching the history of their school site, decorating trays for the oranges and writing letters to Her Majesty to accompany the oranges. To meet the tough British quarantine protocols NSW Agriculture regulatory officers examined the oranges and certified them free of fruit fly. To give the House some background, Pera Bore and Bourke have an historic link to the Royal Family. In 1895 NSW Agriculture established an experimental artesian and water irrigation farm at Pera Bore. By 1904 the farm was growing about 1,300 different varieties of citrus, including Washington navel oranges. Exports of Washington navel oranges to Britain were an immediate success; apparently they were popular with King Edward VII because of their sweetness. The Queen visited Bourke in March this year during her recent visit to Australia. I am advised that 50 oranges arrived at Buckingham Palace yesterday, Monday 17 June. Email confirmation of their arrival was received this morning by the Agsell unit of NSW Agriculture in Sydney. The citrus industry is worth approximately $80 million a year to New South Wales at the farm gate. Mr Mansell's family has approximately 1,000 of acres of horticultural crops under irrigation in Bourke. He expects citrus production in Bourke to increase tenfold in the next six to eight years from current plantings, and a percentage of 30,000 to 40,000 acres of irrigation land having the potential to be used for horticulture. In conclusion, I congratulate all of those involved in the growing of this excellent product. On behalf of the people of Bourke, I thank Her Majesty for including their community on her recent tour of Australia. Mr ARMSTRONG (Lachlan) [2.26 p.m.]: On behalf of the Opposition I congratulate the people of Bourke and Agsell on this wonderful initiative. Agsell, which was introduced by the Greiner-Murray Government, is one of the most successful agricultural product marketing projects in the history of this State. It is most fitting that Bourke oranges were sent to Her Majesty. If one were to visit virtually any of the older homesteads in the region, particularly those owned by the Scottish Australian Pastoral Company and the Australian Agricultural Company, one would see extensive gardens with considerable plantings of citrus— lemons, oranges, limes, et cetera. Some of the early station managers were great horticulturalists. They developed varieties of citrus that were suitable to the western district. There is no doubt that the potential of the Lachlan, Macquarie and Darling river systems for future horticulture production is untapped. The only thing inhibiting the fulfilling of that potential is the lack of availability of water caused by the translucent river flows in the Lachlan. No doubt when Her Majesty writes a letter of thanks for the oranges she will say, "Thank you New South Wales, but what are you going to do about the translucent flow? We want more oranges." I am sure that Her Majesty will be thinking about translucent flows as she has her first orange from Bourke. CHILD DEATH REVIEW TEAM Report Mr Speaker tabled, pursuant to section 23 of the Commission for Children and Young People Act 1998, the report entitled "Fatal Assault of Children and Young People", dated June 2002. Ordered to be printed. 3226 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY 18 June 2002 PETITIONS Australian War Graves Site French Airport Proposal Petition asking that the House join with the Federal Government in lobbying the Government of France to stop development of land occupied by Commonwealth War Cemeteries containing Australian war graves, received from Mr O'Farrell.

Attention: Marian Pate Via e-mail: [email protected] Dear Marian, Re: Submission to Sutherland draft LEP 2013 Please find attached a copy of submissions to Sutherland Shire Council in response to the public exhibition of the Draft Sutherland LEP 2013 (DLEP). The submissions were prepared on behalf of the owners of 10-14 Merton Street, Sutherland but made suggestions in relation to all land bounded by Merton Street, President Avenue, Flora Street and Belmont Street. For clarity, an initial submission to the DLEP was submitted to Council directly by the land owners on 26 April 2013. A second comprehensive submission was lodged by DDC Urban Planning in July 2013. A third submission which was essentially a peer review of the second submission was prepared by Don Fox Planning and lodged to Council during the second exhibition period of the DLEP 2013. Term of Reference No.2 requires consideration of the “appropriateness of the provisions contained within the second exhibited version of the draft plan”. This particular submission included a fully compliant planning proposal which considered all matter stipulated in A Guide to Preparing Local Environmental Plans and a Guide to Preparing Planning Proposals and Sutherland Shire Council’s: Guidelines for Planning Proposals. In addition to this, building envelope modelling was carried out and examined against other likely building forms in the Sutherland town centre. This work was prepared and peer-reviewed by experienced town planners, urban designers and architects working within well-established planning companies who understand processes around facilitating residential density in emerging centres.
