This determination was made by Andrew Smith, a delegate of the Minister for Finance, and it applies to land in the Australian Capital Territory. The enactment aims to facilitate the administration and lease of these particular parcels of land, as outlined in the Deposited Plan DP 10748, for purposes deemed beneficial to the public. This legal instrument is a formal notification under the authority of the Commonwealth of Australia, overseen by the Department of Finance, ensuring that the land in question is managed in accordance with the legislative framework established by the CALO and its application by the National Land Ordinance 1989.

Scope and Application

The determination under Section 17AA of the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936, as applied by the National Land Ordinance 1989, pertains to the specified areas of land in the Australian Capital Territory. This legislative action applies to the land parcels identified in Block 2 Section 6 and Block 1 Section 16 of the Division of Lawson, as delineated on Deposited Plan 10748. The decision was made by Andrew Smith, acting as a delegate of the Minister for Finance, for the purpose of managing these lands in the public interest. The geographic reach of this determination is confined to the Australian Capital Territory, and the application is limited to the specific land parcels noted. There are no stated exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds within the determination itself, though the broader ordinances may include such provisions. Any further details regarding the application or implications of this determination would be governed by the applicable sections of the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936 and the National Land Ordinance 1989, which may be extended or clarified through subordinate instruments issued under the authority of these Acts.

Key Provisions

The key provision of this legislation is the determination under section 17AA of the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936 as applied by the National Land Ordinance 1989 (section 1). This section allows for the public interest determination that certain land should be dealt with under section 17AA of the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936. Specifically, the land in question is Block 2 Section 6 Division of Lawson and Block 1 Section 16 Division of Lawson, both delineated on Deposited Plan 10748. This determination is made by Andrew Smith, a delegate of the Minister for Finance, and is evidenced by his signature on the document dated 15 February 2017. The obligations imposed by this Act primarily concern the specified land areas, which now fall under the jurisdiction of the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936. This means that the management, use, and any potential leasing of this land will now be governed by the provisions of the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936, rather than any other land management legislation that might have previously applied. This change in governance is intended to better align the management of these specific parcels of land with the broader objectives and regulations of the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936. In terms of consequences for breach or non-compliance, the legislation itself does not explicitly outline penalties or specific offences. However, the overarching framework provided by the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936 and the National Land Ordinance 1989 would apply. These could include administrative penalties, fines, or legal action for non-compliance with the lease terms or other relevant regulations. The exact penalties would depend on the specific nature of the breach and would be determined in accordance with the provisions of the City Area Leases Ordinance 1936 and any other applicable laws. It is important for any parties involved with the specified land to be aware of and comply with these regulations to avoid any potential penalties or legal consequences.
