Callan Park (Special Provisions) Act 2002

A lease of, or a licence allowing the use of—

a building or part of a building within Callan Park, and of any adjoining land needed to enable the use of the building or part of the building, or

any land within Callan Park,

The term of any such lease or licence, including the term of any further lease or licence that may be granted under an option for renewal of the lease or licence, must not exceed—

for relevant premises—50 years, and

otherwise—10 years.

However, subsection (2)(b) does not prevent leases or licences being granted for terms of, or successive terms totalling, more than 10 years if—

a notice stating the name of the proposed lessee or licensee, the main purpose of the proposed lease or licence and details of the proposed term and any proposed optional terms, has been tabled in each house of Parliament, and

resolutions have been passed by each House confirming the proposal for the term or terms, or no resolution has been passed by either House disallowing the proposal for the term or terms within 15 sitting days after the notice was tabled in that House.

The care, control and management of Callan Park, of any building at Callan Park or of any part of either of them may be contracted out with the consent of the Minister but only to—

the council of the local government area in which Callan Park is situated, or

a trust prescribed by the regulations, if the trust has agreed to undertake that care, control and management in accordance with the objects of this Act.

A lease or licence referred to in subsection (1), and a contract to which subsection (4) applies, must not allow a use that is not authorised by section 7 (3).

To avoid doubt, a lease, licence or contract under this section may be granted or entered into for the purposes of an arts or cultural event, including on a commercial basis.

Before granting a consent under this section, the Minister must—

cause notice of the proposal to grant the lease or licence or to enter the contract to be published in a manner that the Minister is satisfied is likely to bring the proposal to the attention of members of the public in the locality, and

have regard to any written comments received in response to the notice within 30 days after the date of the last publication, and

publish the reasons for the decision to grant consent in a manner that the Minister is satisfied is likely to bring the reasons to the attention of members of the public in the locality.

The notice of the proposal must include a summary of the main terms of the lease, licence or contract, together with details of any related proposal to deal in land located in Callan Park of which the Minister is aware.

A regulation prescribing a trust for the purposes of this section takes effect on the day following the last day on which it is capable of being disallowed under section 41 of the Interpretation Act 1987 (as modified by subsection (8)) or on such later day as may be specified in the regulation.

Despite section 41 of the Interpretation Act 1987, a resolution by a House of Parliament to disallow any such regulation does not have effect unless notice of the resolution is given within 15 sitting days of the House after written notice of the making of the regulation is laid before that House under section 40 of that Act.
