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 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.  

This instrument determines the names of three areas of urban open space in the Division of Crace as specified in the schedule and associated plan. The name ‘Crace Recreation Park’ describes the site as the main recreation park in the Division of Crace.   The second name, ‘Duncan Dunbar Reserve’, commemorates the name of a ship associated with Edward Kendall Crace, after whom the Division of Crace is named.  The third name, ‘Hilltop Reserve’, describes the topography of the open space area.
