3	Declaration

Under section 5(1) of the Remand Centres Act 1976  (the Act), the Administrator has informed me:

a)	that the number of detainees in the Belconnen Remand Centre declared by instrument, published pursuant to section 4 of the Act, in the Gazette No. S169 of 27 September 1976 is likely to be greater than the number that can be held conveniently in the centre; and

b)	that it is not appropriate to transfer some detainees to another institution within or outside the Territory.

Therefore, under section 5(3) of the Act, I DECLARE the area of land on which the Symonston Temporary Remand Centre is located, to be a temporary remand centre for the period of 12 months commencing on 15 October 2004.
