I move amendment No. a144b:
In page 38, subsection (4) (o), line 8, after "facility" to insert "and that this requirement could partially offset the requirement for a specified number of car parking spaces specified in the planning application of such a sales outlet".
This matter has been brought to my attention by the owners of various sales outlets who are very keen to do everything possible to facilitate a network of community facilities where recycling can take place. In many cases, however, they are constrained by conditions under the planning laws which require that a sales outlet can refer to provision for a certain number of car parking spaces. This requirement does not take into consideration the public's goodwill in relation to tolerating a reduction in car parking space adjacent to mini markets, for example. That space could then be used for a paper bank or some other such receptacle. I ask that the Minister take this point on board. I am sure the parliamentary draftsman might produce a more precise wording which might take account of the sentiment of this amendment. The Minister should be sympathetic to the real difficulties people experience in this regard and take account of public goodwill.
