Public Place Names (Lawson) Determination 2013 (No 1)

Arial 12pt, bold

Disallowable instrument DI2013-228 
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 new roads in the Division of Lawson as specified in the attached schedule and associated plan. The theme for the naming of public places in Lawson is Henry Lawson’s Australia.

The names in the attached schedule do not commemorate people. Therefore, it was not necessary to consider 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.
