Great Ocean Road and Environs Protection Bill 2019
Great Ocean Road and Environs Protection Bill 2019
Second reading
Debate resumed on motion of Ms D’AMBROSIO:
That this bill be now read a second time.
and Mr MORRIS’s amendment:
That all the words after ‘That’ be omitted and replaced with the words ‘this house refuses to read this bill a second time until the government has resolved the significant omissions in the bill and ensures:
(1) the source of funds to resource the operations of the Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority and the implementation of the proposed Great Ocean Road strategic framework plan are identified;
(2) the extent of the region is identified and defined;
(3) the relationship between local planning schemes and the overarching powers granted to the minister by the bill is reconciled;
(4) the proposed constitution of the board of the authority is amended after further consultation to provide that there is sufficient representation from residents of any of the following municipal districts:
(a) Surf Coast Shire Council;
(b) Colac Otway Shire Council;
(c) Corangamite Shire Council;
(d) Moyne Shire Council; or
(e) Portland City Council; and
(5) the decision to exclude all board, or committee of management, members of responsible entities (as defined in the bill) from eligibility for appointment as a director of the authority is justified’.
The SPEAKER (17:09): The minister has moved that the bill be now read a second time. The member for Mornington has moved a reasoned amendment to the motion. He has proposed to omit all of the words after ‘That’ and to replace them with the words that appear on the notice paper. The question is:
That the words proposed to be omitted stand part of the question.
Therefore those members supporting the reasoned amendment by the member for Mornington should vote no.
