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, by notification 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.

This instrument determines the names of new roads in the Division of Bonner as specified in the attached schedule and associated plan. The theme for the naming of public places in Bonner is Indigenous leaders and their supporters.

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 eight women and five men.
