AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

CITY AREA LEASES ORDINANCE 1969

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 25 of 1969

	Under section 7 of the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936-1968 a person who is not a British subject cannot become a lessee or sub-lessee of land in the Australian Capital Territory without the approval of the Minister.  Such approval has never been withheld and there is no necessity that the provision be retained.  The Ordinance, therefore, will repeal section 7.
