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 2001 specifies that power given under an Act to make an instrument includes the power to amend or repeal the instrument.

A redevelopment, which is being undertaken to improve the overall amenity of the Belconnen Markets and provide access to the new Bunnings Store in Belconnen, requires amendment to the present road network.  

This instrument AMENDS the notice published in Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No. S266 dated 10 December 1980 by defining the location of Lathlain Street between College Street and Belconnen Way in the Division of Belconnen as shown on the attached plan
and 
DETERMINES the names of two roads in the Division of Belconnen as specified in the attached schedule and associated plan.

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 one woman and a name associated with the area.
