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 Magistrates Court and Tribunals and Supreme Court cells are located, to be temporary remand centres for the period of 12 months commencing from the day after notification.
