LAND (PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT) SECTION 167 LEASES DETERMINATION 2003 (NO 6)

DISALLOWABLE INSTRUMENT DI2003-237

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 paragraphs 167(1A) and 167(1B) of the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 establishes criteria in accordance with subsection 167(6) to enable the Executive to declare the lease over Block 3 Section 18 Forrest to be a class of leases to which section 167 shall apply and to specify criteria to determine whether a person is eligible to hold the lease.

This disallowable instrument provides that the proposed transferee or sublessee must:

•	Satisfy the Planning and Land Authority that he or she can comply with the existing lease conditions;

•	Be an incorporated non-profit organisation; and

•	Pays the fees and charges for the time being notified by the Planning and Land Authority as being applicable.

This instrument will enable the transfer of the concessional lease held by the Acton Football and Sports Club Incorporated to another concessional lessee and will allow the Club to continue operating, as a sublessee, its existing licensed club on the premises. It is proposed to transfer the lease to St John Ambulance Australia Incorporated which is the holder of a concessional lease on the adjoining Block 4 Section 18 Forrest.
