Arial 12pt, bold

Disallowable instrument DI2011 - 253
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.

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, Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate.

This instrument determines the names of two roads in the Kowen District as specified in the attached schedule and associated plan.  

The road names are required as a result of the southern deviation of the Kings Highway between Queanbeyan and Bungendore.  Two separate remnant sections of the existing Kings Highway will be retained for property access once the works to deviate the highway are completed in 2012.  The existing road pavement linking the two sections will be removed and the area will be rehabilitated. 

The selected names have long term significance in the area.
