CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

Question No. 223

Acton Peninsula - Child Care Centre

MR MOORE - Asked the Chief Minister upon notice on 18 April 1996:

In relation to the Southside Community Service Childcare Centre -

(1) Have you clarified the rights of the Centre to continue with their lease on Acton Peninsula.

(2) What (a) is the Government's obligation; and (b) compensation will need to be paid.

MRS CARNELL - The answer to the Member's question is as follows:

(1) No lease has been granted over the site in question. Southside Community Services Inc has an occupancy agreement with the Government for its use of the Acton Peninsula site. The Government has, however, clarified the rights of both parties in relation to that agreement.

(2) (a) The Government recognises the right of Southside Community Services Inc, the managers of the Acton Child Care Centre, to remain on the Acton Peninsula site until the expiry of the occupancy agreement in September 1997.

(b) There is no pre-determined compensation payable to Southside Community Services Inc in relation to the Acton Child Care Centre. If the Centre had to be vacated before the expiry of the current occupancy agreement, the terms on which such vacation was achieved would be a matter for negotiation with Southside Community Services.
