MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND

PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO. 225

Rugby League Park, Braddon

Ms McRae - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning - In relation to the status of the lease at Rugby League Park, Braddon

(1) The Status of the Lease;

(2) Has the lease been sub-divided ?

(3) Has a variation of the lease purpose been sought ?

Mr Humphries - the answer to the member's question is as follows:

(1) Rugby League Park (Northbourne Oval) is currently leased to ACT Rugby League Inc. In 1984 the lessee agreed to transfer the lease over to the ACT Leagues Club Limited however while the transfer was registered at the Registrar-General's Office it was never approved by the Minister and is not recognised as a legal transfer.

The ACT Leagues Club Limited believes it has a claim to the lease and this claim is currently being pursued in the Supreme Court.

(2) The block has not, to date, been sub-divided. However, talks have been held with the lessee and other interested parties on this matter.

(3) No application has been sought to vary the lease purpose. Once again talks have been held with parties having an interest in the site with a view to a variation of purpose.
