Part 5Miscellaneous provisions
5.1Relevant acquisition authority
(1)
The objective of this clause is to identify, for
the purposes of section 3.15 of the Act, the authority of the State that will
be the relevant authority to acquire land reserved for certain public purposes
if the land is required to be acquired under Division 3 of Part 2 of the
Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act
1991 (the
owner-initiated acquisition provisions).
Note—
If the landholder will suffer hardship if there
is any delay in the land being acquired by the relevant authority, section 23
of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms
Compensation) Act 1991 requires the authority to acquire
the land.
(2)
The authority of the State that will be the
relevant authority to acquire land, if the land is required to be acquired
under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions, is the authority of the
State specified below in relation to the land shown on the Land Reservation Acquisition
Map (or, if an authority of the State is not specified in
relation to land required to be so acquired, the authority designated or
determined under those provisions).

Development on land acquired by an authority of
the State under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions may, before it is
used for the purpose for which it is reserved, be carried out, with
development consent, for any purpose.
Note 1—
When this Plan was made no land in the zones
listed in the table to subclause (2) was included on the Land Reservation Acquisition
Map.
Note 2—
If land, other than land specified in the table
to subclause (2), is required to be acquired under the owner-initiated
acquisition provisions, the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure is
required to take action to enable the designation of the acquiring authority
under this clause. Pending the designation of the acquiring authority for the
land, the acquiring authority is to be the authority determined by order of
the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure (see section 21 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act
1991).
5.2Classification and reclassification of public
land
(1)
The objective of this clause is to enable the
Council to classify or reclassify public land as “operational
land” or “community land” in accordance with Part 2 of
Chapter 6 of the Local Government Act
1993.
Note—
Under the Local Government Act
1993, “public land” is generally land vested
in or under the control of a council (other than roads and certain Crown
land). The classification or reclassification of public land may also be made
by a resolution of the Council under section 31, 32 or 33 of the Local Government Act 1993. Section 30 of
that Act enables this Plan to discharge trusts on which public reserves are
held if the land is reclassified under this Plan as operational
land.
(2)
The public land described in Part 1 or Part 2 of
Schedule 4 is classified, or reclassified, as operational land for the
purposes of the Local Government Act
1993.
(3)
The public land described in Part 3 of Schedule 4
is classified, or reclassified, as community land for the purposes of the
Local Government Act
1993.
(4)
The public land described in Part 1 of Schedule
4—
(a)
does not cease to be a public reserve to the
extent (if any) that it is a public reserve, and
(b)
continues to be affected by any trusts, estates,
interests, dedications, conditions, restrictions or covenants that affected
the land before its classification, or reclassification, as operational
land.
(5)
The public land described in Part 2 of Schedule
4, to the extent (if any) that it is a public reserve, ceases to be a public
reserve when the description of the land is inserted into that Part and is
discharged from all trusts, estates, interests, dedications, conditions,
restrictions and covenants affecting the land or any part of the land,
except—
(a)
those (if any) specified for the land in Column 3
of Part 2 of Schedule 4, and
(b)
any reservations that except land out of the
Crown grant relating to the land, and
(c)
reservations of minerals (within the meaning of
the Crown Land Management Act
2016).
Note—
In accordance with section 30 (2) of the Local Government Act 1993, the approval
of the Governor to subclause (5) applying to the public land concerned is
required before the description of the land is inserted in Part 2 of Schedule
4.
