Adjourned debate on second reading.

The Hon. M.J. ELLIOTT: The Democrats support the second reading of the Bill and I indicate that, during the Committee stages, we will seek one minor amendment. I note that the Hon. Paul Holloway has addressed an amendment that he has placed on file that deals with this issue. This Bill is essentially about minor changes or changes which are considered to be non-contentious. We have received correspondence from the Local Government Association which indicates general support for the Bill. However, the LGA would have liked an amendment to proposed new sections 11B(2)(d) and 11B(4) along the lines of inserting words like `and any council constituted under the Local Government Act 1934 affected by the proposal' after the words `interested persons'.

I believe that the amendment that the LGA requests has been essentially covered by the amendment put on file by the Hon. Paul Holloway and, during Committee, I will seek an indication as to whether that is what the Labor amendment responds to. Other than trying to ensure that, even with minor changes, at least the relevant council is consulted, the Democrats do not see any difficulties with the Bill.
