Disallowable instrument DI2009- 6
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.  In particular, section 3 empowers the Minister to determine in writing, and cause to be published in the ACT Legislation Register, the name of a division or public place.

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.

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

This instrument REVOKES DI2008-303 notified on 23 December 2008; and 

DETERMINES the names of new roads in the Division of Bonner as specified in the attached schedule and associated plan. The theme for Bonner is Indigenous leaders and their supporters.

This revocation (of DI2008-303) and determination of road names is required due to changes that have been made to the road layout of Bonner 1B Estate.  The affected roads are Syddall Street (new), Duguid Street (moved) Ben Blakeney Street (moved, new suffix), Jackomos Street (moved, new suffix) and Numiari Street (new suffix).

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, has been considered as required by the Public Place Names Act 1989.

This instrument commemorates 10 women and 21 men.
