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 the name of a division or public place in writing. A determination is a disallowable instrument and must be notified in the ACT Legislation Register. 

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 delegated officers of the 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 Public Place Names (Gungahlin) 1991 DI 1991-96 by revoking the divisional name Mulanggari as specified in the attached schedule.  The associated plan includes published amendments to major road and division names after notification of DI 1991-96.

The name Mulanggari has been assigned to a nature reserve and will not be required as a division name in the District of Gungahlin.
