6 Minister may notify intention to declare cemetery a public park
If the Minister is of the opinion that the conversion into a public park of the land or any part of the land referred to in the resolution is desirable, the Minister may cause to be published in the Gazette a notification of the Minister’s intention to declare that land or part, as the case may be, to be a public park.
A copy of the notification under subclause (1) must be laid before each House of Parliament within 14 sitting days of that House after the date of publication.
If either House of Parliament passes a resolution of which notice has been given within 15 sitting days of that House after a copy of the notification under subclause (1) has been laid before it, that it does not assent to the declaration of the land referred to in that notification as a public park, the Minister must not make that declaration pursuant to that notification.
For the purposes of subclauses (2) and (3), sitting days are to be counted, whether or not they occur during the same session.
