Arial 12pt, bold

Disallowable instrument DI2009—160
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, notified 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 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 AMENDS DI1997-234 notified on 2 October 1997 by amending the extent of Gribble Street by removing the name from its east-west portion and the extent of Ernest Cavanagh Street by removing the name from its western portion; and   

DETERMINES two new road names (Franz Bormann Close and Efkarpidis Street) in the division of Gungahlin, as specified in the attached schedule and as shown on the associated plan. 

The amendments are required because changes to block boundaries have divided these roads.

Gungahlin’s street naming theme is Gungahlin pioneers and Industry.

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 two men.
