Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts(1) The Minister may give the planning and land authority a written statement (the statement of planning intent ) that sets out the main principles that are to govern planning and land development in the ACT.
(2) The Minister must—
(a) present a copy of the statement of planning intent to the Legislative Assembly not later than 6 sitting days after the day it is given to the planning and land authority; and
(b) if the copy would not be presented to the Legislative Assembly before the end of the period of 10 working days after the day the statement is given to the authority—give a copy to the members of the Assembly before the end of the 10-day period.
(3) To remove any doubt, the statement of planning intent does not authorise a person to whom section 50 (Effect of territory plan) applies to do anything inconsistent with the territory plan.
Example
The statement of planning intent may include policy material inconsistent with the territory plan, but the plan would have to be amended before the policy could be implemented.
Note An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
