Notice under Section 17AA of the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936 as applied by the National Land Ordinance 1989 - Block 2 Section 14 Greenway

Overview

The City Area Leases Ordinance 1936, as applied by the National Land Ordinance 1989, was enacted to address the administration and management of land within the Australian Capital Territory, ensuring that land is used in a manner that is most beneficial to the public. This legislation was brought into force to provide a framework for the government to control and regulate land use in a way that aligns with broader public interests, particularly in urban areas. The 1989 Ordinance extended the application of the 1936 Ordinance to the National Land, thereby integrating land management practices across federal territories. The policy objective of these enactments is to facilitate effective and efficient land use, ensuring that it meets the needs of the community and the government while maintaining public interest. The determination made under section 17AA of the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936, as applied by the National Land Ordinance 1989, reflects these objectives by authorising the subdivision of specified land in the Australian Capital Territory for public benefit. This action was taken by Andrew Smith, a delegate of the Minister for Finance, who determined that the land in question should be managed according to the provisions of the CALO.
