Disallowable instrument DI2005-40
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 3 empowers the Minister to determine in writing, published in the ACT Legislation Register, 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.

Section 46 of the Legislation Act 1967 specifies that where an Act confers a power on a person to make an instrument then, unless the contrary intention appears, that person has the further power to amend the instrument.

This instrument
REVOKES the Determination DI2004-79 notified on the ACT Legislation Register.  
and
DETERMINES the names of the public places that are Territory land as specified in the attached schedule to the instrument and as indicated on the attached plan to the instrument.

The street names notified in DI2004-79 require modification due to a change in the direction of the distributor road, which was varied to provide a smoother bus flow.  The new determination will clarify the location of Carpentaria Street and Cultivation Street in the suburb of Harrison.

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 natural geographic features of Australia.
