ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
CHIEF MINISTER FOR TIFF AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
Canberra Times Site
Question No 198
MR MOORE- To ask the Chief Minister
Considering that a surrender and regnant with a different lease purpose clause for any site creates a new estate within the meaning of Section 29 of the ACT Planning and Land Management Act 1988
(1) Can the Chief Minister identify which procedures were used, when the public was notified, and what document contains the procedures.
(2) Is the decision with respect to the former Canberra Times site an appropriate one, since Section 29(2)(b) of the Planning and Land Management Act 1988 clearly states that "appropriate classes of decisions relating to the administration of estates in Territory Land shall be subject to just and timely review" and therefore surely demands consultation. with the objectors in the Supreme Court case.
MR KAINE- The answer to the Members question is as follows:
(1) I am advised that the surrender and regrant of the subject Crown Leases has been dealt with in accordance with the requirements of Section 29 of the ACT (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988.
The policies and procedures relevant to Section 29 of the Act used in the administration of the ACT leasehold system were initially published on 1 May 1989 and notification of their availability was made-in pamphlets and in the local press at that time. That publication was entitled "Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988- Policies and Procedures Relevant to Section 29 of the above Act used in the Administration of the ACT Leasehold System- 1 May 1989". On 4 November 1989 notification was given in the local press of the availability of an updated publication of the same title dated 1 November 1989. Both publications have been made available during their currency from the Land and Planning information shorefront on the ground floor of the Braddon offices, 220 Northbourne Avenue.
