Arial 12pt, bold

Disallowable instrument DI2011-299
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.

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.

This instrument AMENDS the notice published in Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No. 29 dated 13 April 1972 by revoking the extension of Newcastle Street north westerly to The Causeway in Kingston as specified in the attached Schedule A; and 

DETERMINES the names of two new roads in the Division of Kingston as specified in the attached 
Schedule B and associated plan. The theme for the naming of public places in Kingston is explorers, local pioneers and Australian flora.

The portion of Newcastle Street, east of The Causeway, is renamed as an extension of Eyre Street as shown in the plan in this instrument. 

The existing road name, The Causeway, will apply to the northerly extension of the road up to Jerrabomberra Creek.  

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, has been considered as required by the Public Place Names Act 1989.

This instrument commemorates two men.
