LAND (PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT) CRITERIA FOR DIRECT LEASE GRANTS (COMMERICAL PURPOSES – GRIFFITH) DETERMINATION 2003

DISALLOWABLE INSTRUMENT DI2003-211

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This disallowable instrument is being redetermined as a result of the Planning and Land (Consequential Amendments) Act 2002 which transfers certain powers from the Minister/Executive to the Planning and Land Authority.

This disallowable instrument made under subsection 161(7) of the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 establishes criteria in accordance with subsection 161(4) for the direct sale of Block 30 Section 78 Griffith for commercial purposes. 

Block 30 Section 78 Griffith is adjacent to Block 19 Section 78 Griffith. It is a very small parcel of land, and because of its size and unique building constraints, is not considered to be a viable development proposition to anyone except the adjacent Crown Lessee for consolidation as a single parcel.

This disallowable instrument therefore provides for the direct sale of the lease to the Lessee of Block 19 Section 78 Griffith provided that the applicant:

•	Completes the necessary forms;

•	Demonstrates the financial capacity to manage the land;

•	Pays the current market value of the land;

•	Pays all applicable fees and charges.
