Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Ms PURICK - 2009-04-30

On 10 February this year in this House, you said that you looked forward to driving the Opposition Leader, my colleague on my right, through the streets of Bellamack in 2009. Madam Speaker, I seek leave to table an extract of the Parliamentary Record.

Leave granted.

Ms PURICK: Will you now confirm that Bellamack has not even been lot surveyed? Further, will you confirm that the contract for the development of Bellamack remains unsigned and stands only at preferred developer status? Is it not the case that Territorians and this House have been misled about the Bellamack land release?

ANSWER

Madam Speaker, the shadow has it wrong again. Bellamack, as I said, is running parallel processes. The design processes have occurred. The Development Consent Authority has approved Stage 1. Stage 1 will provide and create some 237 lots at Bellamack. As I said, Brierty is establishing its Territory office and has advertised in the Northern Territory News. Some 40 applications for the subdivisional work have been received. As I also said, site construction is anticipated to start in June. The government has a team of senior officers working with Urban Pacific and Brierty to get the final contract signed. We have had exchanges and they are at a very close stage.
