This is an inquiry under s46 regarding a proposal to subdivide the northern portion of Lot 121 Illawarra Crescent, Malaga into 45 separate industrial lots. Lots fronting Illawarra Crescent are proposed for showroom/semi-commercial use. IBT's brick and tile manufacturing facility is located on the south side of Lot 121.

In the original proposal approved by the Minister for the Environment (Ministerial Statement 3, 1 September 1987) the northern portion of the lot was intended to serve as buffer to nearby residential development.
