LAND (PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT) DETERMINATION OF THE APPROVED FORM OF LAND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

DISALLOWABLE INSTRUMENT DI2003-253

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 ACT Planning and Land Authority (the Authority). This disallowable instrument revokes 271 of 1999.

A Land Management Agreement is required under part 186C of the Land (Planning and Environment) Act 1991 (Land Act) for rural leases.  

The Land Management Agreement establishes a co-operative land management regime between a rural Lessee and the Territory.   

The principal objectives include agreement on general management goals, practices and responsibilities, documenting a site assessment on the state of a rural property, recognising the achievement of environmental management goals and proposing appropriate action to resolve specific land management issues.

The Land Management Agreement under the Land Act will now be signed by a person delegated by the Authority (including the Conservator of Flora and Fauna).
