EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Outline

In accordance with subsection 171A(2) of the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991, Disallowable Instrument (No 1) DI 2003 – 323 determines the conditions which apply to the grant of a further rural lease .  Amongst other issues, the aforementioned Disallowable Instrument specifies maximum rural lease terms for the ACT, the conditions for payment of further rural leases and periods relevant to the payment of an amount condition.

This disallowable instrument revokes the above determinations.

The Attachment has been amended to accurately reflect the conditions that the Authority intends to attach to further rural leases.
