Disallowable instrument DI2004 - 256
Made under the 
Public Place Names Act 1989— section 3 (Minister to determine names)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Public Place Names Act 1989 provides for the naming of divisions and public places and, in particular, section 4 empowers the Minister to determine in writing the name of a division or public place.

Pursuant to section 254A of the Legislation Act 2001, the Minister has delegated the power under the Public Place Names Act 1989 to name a division or public place to the Chief Planning Executive, ACT Planning and Land Authority.

This Instrument determines the names of the new streets in the Division of Dunlop as specified in the attached schedule and associated plan.

Although the theme for the Division of Dunlop is Inventors, Inventions and Artists, 
Mary and Henry Hall, who were ACT Pioneers, have been included in this subdivision to allow for their commemoration in a street as close as possible to the site of their original homestead “Charnwood”. 

The number of women and men after whom divisions or public places have been named in the last 10 years, and whether the names of women are well-represented, have been considered as required by the Public Place Names Act 1989.

This instrument commemorates two inventions, one man and two women.
