Ms SCRYMGOUR - 2010-05-05
Can you inform the House on what Budget 2010-11 provides to deliver more land for Territory families?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Arafura for her question about what the Territory government is doing. The Territory government is fast-tracking more land release, particularly in the new suburbs of Palmerston East, and it is going out at a rate five times never seen before. That relates to the position we are in, a strong economy, population growth, and it is putting the demands on land release. We have had this debate time and time again.
Budget 2010-11 provides an additional $20m to deliver the headworks to the suburb of Zuccoli. Stage 1 of Zuccoli will deliver 400 lots. That equates to roughly 555 new homes that will be available for sale off the plan by the end of this year, 2010. We are taking an active role in land release, and we are doing it with the Land Development Corporation in the first stage of Zuccoli. The Land Development Corporation is partnering up, joint venturing, to get the first 400 lots out there, and to understand this subject and to know it well for the future.
The Palmerston East suburbs of Bellamack, Johnston, Zuccoli and Mitchell will eventually house 15 000 Territory families. As well as that, I am very proud for all Central Australians that Budget 2010-11 delivers $10m to commence the headworks for the new suburb of Kilgariff in Alice Springs, with the potential to provide 1200 residential lots.
For Tennant Creek in Budget 2010-11 there is $900 000 to deliver 54 residential lots in the town. There is great confidence from this government in Tennant Creek and its future.
Budget 2010-11: $1.96m for the planning of a new city of Weddell, which will eventually house 40 000 Territorians. I am very proud to be tasked with the job to be part of the development of a new city in the Northern Territory which will house 40 000 Territorians. I have been on-site, I have been kicking the dirt, I have taken the time to understand this business. This business is big, it is bold, and it is complex. It is great to see that, in Johnston, the services are under way. The key road link is sealed and the civil works to create the land titles are under way.
Madam Speaker, to finish off, in my brief history in the Northern Territory, the reason why you guys do not understand this is that, in your time, everyone was leaving the place. In our time, everyone is arriving. The pressure is on; I agree.
