An attempt to set up a fast-track for planning in the ACT is not going to quickly, with partisan bickering throwing the process into chaos.

The ACT Legislative Assembly committee members appear unable to agree on a report, with Liberal members saying they will not back the paper put forward by Labor members.

The report in questions is part of new laws to allow the government to speed up high priority developments including a new secure mental health facility and light rail project.

The laws have caused some controversy, as they bypass certain heritage protections and appeals, raising fears about a possible lack of community consultation.

The fast-track bill was given to a planning committee for review, but the Liberals’ committee member Alistair Coe says he will not sign off on a report put forward by Labor members.

Mr Coe has now presented a new option.

“We have got an alternate report which was not endorsed by this committee, which is a shame because what this report does is quote from the many submissions and the many witnesses that said there is very serious issues with this bill,” he told the ABC.

“Many stem from the lack of consultation but the vast majority stemmed from the substance of the bill itself.”

Sustainable Development Minister Simon Corbell told reporters in response that he found the sluggishness very disappointing.

“It is disappointing that some Liberals members are seeking to disrupt the business of the committees by deliberately obstructing the passage of an assembly inquiry into an important piece of legislation,” he said.

“It really is incumbent now on those Liberal members to explain why it is that they continue to obstruct the business of the Legislative Assembly and its committees for nothing more than short term tactical or political considerations.

“It is certainly not in the interests of this assembly or the broader community that inquiries such as this are not able to present a formal report,” he said.

The Government will proceed with the bill with “regard to the submissions made”, Mr Corbell said.
