CENTENNIAL PARK AND MOORE PARK TRUST (ROYAL
EASTER SHOW) AMENDMENT BILL 1993*
NEW SOUTH WALES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This Explanatory Note relates to this Bill as introduced into Parliament)
The object of this Bill is to amend the Centennial Park and Moore Bark Trust
(Macquarie Sydney Common) Amendment Act 1992 ("the amending Act") so as:
(a) to defer the vesting of Sydney Showground in the Centennial Park and Moore
Park Trust ("the Trust") until the Royal Agricultural Society of New South
Wales ("the RAS") has vacated the Showground; and
(b) to repeal certain provisions relating to the appointment of local government
representatives to the Trust; and
(c) to amend a provision relating to community consultation to make provision for
the appointment of a Community Consultative Committee.
Clause 1 specifies the short title of the proposed Act.
Clause 2 provides for the proposed Act to commence on assent or, if that date is
after 7 June 1993, for commencement to be taken to be on that date.
Clause 3 is a formal provision that gives effect to the Schedule of amendments to
the amending Act.
SCHEDULE l--AMENDMENTS
Schedule 1 (1) provides for the amending Act (other than section 5) to commence on
a proclaimed day or days. (Section 5 of the amending Act, which relates to assessment
of funding alternatives for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Bid, has already commenced.) The
amending Act (other than section 5) was to commence 6 months after the date of assent
(8 December 1992) unless commenced sooner by proclamation. The provisions of the
* Amended in committee-see table at end of volume.
amending Act which will divest the RAS of the Sydney Showground and vest it in the
Trust are not to commence until the Minister has certified that the Minister has
consulted with the RAS and that the RAS has vacated or substantially vacated the
Showground.
Schedule 1 (2) repeals provisions relating to a lease back by the Trust to the RAS of
the Sydney Showground following its vesting in the Trust by the amending Act and
concerning subleases and sublicences of the Sydney Showground. These provisions are
no longer appropriate as the Sydney Showground will not vest in the Trust until the
RAS has vacated the site.
Schedule 1 (3) repeals provisions dealing with the appointment of local government
representatives to the Trust and its consequent reconstitution. It amends a provision
relating to community consultation by the Trust to make provision for the establishment
of a Community Consultative Committee whose members are to be appointed by the
Trust on the Director's recommendation. It also provides for the making of regulations
by the Governor-in-Council relating to the members and procedure of the Committee.
