(6) Rentals are reviewed in accordance with the terms of the individual lease documents. The standard provision is that the rental is first reviewed six years after the initial issue and then triennially. There are currently 47 lessees in Mitchell paying land rent.
(7) and (8) Rental increases are ongoing and are timed according to the original date of issue of the individual leases. There is no common date for the review of rent of Mitchell leases.
(9) Rent is determined as 10 per cent of the current market value of a particular lease at its review date. Such determinations are carried out by the Australian Valuation Office.
(10) See the answers to questions (6) and (7).
Waste Disposal
(Question No. 25)
Mr Moore asked the Minister for Housing and Urban Services, upon notice, on 23 August 1989:
(1) What are the terms of agreement made between the ACT Government and the Queanbeyan City Council allowing Queanbeyan residents, businesses and municipal workers to dispose of rubbish at the Mugga Lane tip.
(2) Will the Minister table all documents relevant to this agreement; if not, why not.
Mrs Grassby: The answer to the member's question is as follows:
(1) The agreement, which was made before self-government, is for a five-year period from 1 January 1988. The ACT allows the disposal of various agreed forms of waste on appropriate sites within the ACT as determined by the ACT government service on a full cost recovery basis. Charges are adjusted annually taking account of cost changes and the population served by the Queanbeyan Council. This arrangement has negligible impact on the life of the Canberra land fill sites or on their operation.
(2) I am tabling a copy of the agreement. It is not practicable to table all the documents relating to the agreement but if Mr Moore wishes to view them I could make arrangements through the city engineering section.
