CROWN LAND (PARLIAMENTARY PRECINCT REDEVELOPMENT)
AMENDMENT BILL 2009
The Crown Land (Parliamentary Precinct Redevelopment) Act 2009 is to enable the
creation of title for the parliament square redevelopment site by:
� revoking any current or historical Crown Land Orders from any historical
proclamations;
� creating appropriate easements under the provisions of the Land Titles
Act 1980 to ensure joint security and access rights to both Parliament House
and future owners of the redevelopment site; and
� clarifying the boundary line between the redevelopment Site and Parliament
House (minor amendment to Section 2 of the Parliament House Act 1962).
The Act received Royal Assent on 21 July 2009.
The Crown Land (Parliamentary Precinct Redevelopment) Bill 2009 was passed by
the Legislative Council on 9 July 2009. The Council agreed to the passing of the Bill
following undertakings by the Treasurer that amendments would be considered to
Sections 10 and 13 of the Bill, following Royal Assent being received, and in
particular that:
� Section 10 be amended to extend the number of days (from 6 days to 9 days),
for a Notice to be tabled should a proposal be introduced into Parliament to
sell the laneway; and that
� Section 13 be reviewed to consider amendments that would allow a clearer
understanding of the intention of the Clause.
The Legislative Council agreed to the passing of the Bill following undertakings by
the Treasurer that these amendments would be proposed subsequent to Royal
Assent being received. It is therefore appropriate that the Bill be introduced into the
Legislative Council first.
The Crown Land (Parliamentary Precinct Redevelopment) Amendment Bill 2009 will
be a short piece of legislation, amending only Sections 10 and 13 of the Crown Land
(Parliamentary Precinct Redevelopment) Act 2009.
