Melbourne (Flinders Street Land) Bill
Circulation Print
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Clause 1 This clause sets out the purposes of the Bill, which are to divest
certain land from the City of Melbourne, to revoke the current
reservation and to make provision for other matters related to the
land.
Clause 2 The clause provides for commencement. This is to be on a day to
be proclaimed, but the Act is to expire if commencement has not
taken place before 31 December 2004.
Clause 3 Clause 3 divests land remaining vested in the Melbourne City
Council under the Melbourne (Flinders-street) Land Act 1958.
A portion of the land originally vested under that Act was
divested by virtue of the Melbourne Lands (Yarra River North
Bank) Act 1997 and under that Act was re-reserved and placed
under the management of the Council as Committee of
Management. Following divestment the remaining portion of the
land will become unalienated land of the Crown. The clause also
ensures that any regulations made over the land under the Crown
Land (Reserves) Act 1978 are revoked.
Clause 4 Certain rights over the land vested in the Council were
established under other Acts. This clause ensures that these
rights are unaffected by the passage of this Act.
Clause 5 Following passage of this Act certain provision of the
Melbourne (Flinders-street) Land Act 1958 are redundant and
are therefore repealed.
