. Section 2 of the Memorandum on the Objects of Bill: The NHBRC supported the reference to the Council for Geosciences as a mandatory national advisory authority. However, in the Amendment Bill, the wording is not repeated, and it might therefore not be seen as a mandatory requirement, to have development proposals in areas identified with geohazards submitted to the Council for Geosciences for review and comments. This would negate the provisions captured specifically within the NHBRC technical requirements to ensure safe and durable tenure solutions especially in the subsidy sector. Also, it was noted that the previous (Geosciences Act) notation referring to only "infrastructural development" was used in both the "Objects of Bill," section 2 and "Summary of Bill", section 3. This reference was changed and reflected correctly in the Amendment Bill to read "Infrastructure and development", but it should be ensured that this was correctly reflected throughout the Bill.
