Districts Ordinance 1967

Explanatory Memorandum

No. 10 of 1967

	The Districts Ordinance 1967 amends the Districts Ordinance 1966 by varying the boundaries of the Canberra City District to include in this District part of Stromlo District and all but a small portion of Belconnen District.  This small portion of Belconnen District is to be transferred to the neighbouring Hall District.

	This action is being taken because of extensive city development proposed into Belconnen and Stromlo Districts.

	“The City Area” as specified in accordance with the provisions of the City Area Leases Ordinance has already been extended to take in this additional land and it is desirable for the boundaries of “The City Area” and the Canberra City District to remain identical.

	It is also desirable that the City of Canberra as indicated on the plan of layout varied in pursuance to the provisions of the Seat of Government (Administration) Act be contained fully within Canberra City District.
