EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Public Place Names Act 1989 provides for the naming of divisions and, in particular, section 3 empowers the Minister, by notice published in the Gazette, to determine the name of a division or public place.

Pursuant to section 254A of the Legislation Act 1989, the Minister has delegated the power under the Public Place Names Act 1989 to name a division or public place to the Chief Planning Executive of the ACT Planning and Land Authority.

Section 46 of the Legislation Act 1967 specifies that where an Act confers a power on a person to make an instrument then, unless the contrary intention appears, that person has the further power to amend the instrument.

This Instrument amends Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No. P25 dated 31 August 1988 and P9 dated 4 June 1982 by omitting five street names in the Division of McKellar.
