Responsibility for public reserves
2.22 Responsibility for public reserves
This section applies to dedicated or reserved Crown land that is a public reserve and has effect despite anything in the Local Government Act 1993.
The Minister may, by notice published in the Gazette, declare that the dedicated or reserved Crown land is for the time being under the care, control and management of the Minister.
Accordingly, the council does not have control of the dedicated or reserved Crown land as provided by section 48 of the Local Government Act 1993.
If the Minister, by subsequent notice published in the Gazette, revokes a notice under subsection (2) in relation to dedicated or reserved Crown land, section 48 of the Local Government Act 1993 is taken to apply in relation to the land.
In this section—
public reserve means a public reserve as defined in the Local Government Act 1993 (except a public reserve referred to in section 48 (1) (b) of that Act).
