              (ii)     the Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988 of the Commonwealth; or

(3) Before making a declaration for the purposes of subsection (2), the Minister shall have regard to any advice given to the Minister by the Auditor-General as to the making of such a declaration.

(4) The Auditor-General may, if the Auditor-General considers it expedient to do so, discharge an obligation under this section to prepare and sign a report by preparing and signing a report and later, but as soon as practicable, a report or reports supplementary to the first-mentioned report.
