 David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:55): My matter is for the Minister for Planning, and it concerns the hazardous state of the planning changes that have been proposed for the new four-storey and six-storey zones that overlap with heritage overlay 191. What is clear is that there is a very significant overlap between these four- and six-storey zones, and I am going to put the map reconciling this up on my website if people want to look at this. What I am asking the minister is will she make a statement that says that the heritage overlay area will be protected and that those streets and homes will not be torn down and four- and six-storey buildings put in their place? Either the heritage protections are going to count – but it does look like they are not going to count, so I ask her to make this statement to say where those heritage protections will apply.
