Lease to be granted to Minister
4 Lease to be granted to Minister
The Council must, at the request of the Minister, grant a lease to the Minister over all of the Adelaide Oval Core Area, or any part of that area specified by the Minister.
A lease must be granted by the Council under subsection (1) within 30 days after the making of the request by the Minister (or such longer period as the Minister may allow).
Subject to this section, a lease under subsection (1)—
must be for a term specified by the Minister (being a term of up to
80 years including any right to an extension or renewal);
and
will only be subject to such terms and conditions as the Minister may specify after consultation with the Council.
The Adelaide Oval Core Area must be used predominantly for the purposes of a sporting facility (including related uses and with recreational, entertainment, social and other uses being allowed on an ancillary or temporary basis from time to time).
It will be taken to be a term of a lease under subsection (1) that the Minister must ensure—
that the area constituting the Adelaide Oval Core Area continues to be named Adelaide Oval; and
that the Adelaide Oval Scoreboard is maintained in good condition where it stands on the commencement of this Act; and
that at least 1 200 square metres of grassed open space is kept at the northern end of Adelaide Oval (between the scoreboard and the western stands).
However, subsection (5)(c) does not prevent the placing of a building or other structure on any open space maintained for the purposes of that subsection—
on a temporary basis for a period not exceeding 1 month;
or
on a temporary basis for the purposes of a special event or activity prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this paragraph.
The Minister (or any other person) must not remove or substantially alter any Moreton Bay fig tree (ficus macrophylla) located within the
Adelaide Oval Core Area without the approval of the Council (which approval must not be unreasonably withheld).
A lease under this section (and any use of land under a lease) is not subject to Chapter 11 of the Local Government Act 1999 or section 21 of the Adelaide Park
Lands Act 2005.
When a lease is granted under this section, any lease between the
Council and SACA that relates to any part of the Adelaide Oval Core Area is extinguished (without giving rise to an entitlement to compensation or relief on the part of the Council or SACA by virtue of the operation of this section).
Except to the extent provided by this section and section 5, the Minister is authorised to manage any part of the Adelaide Oval Core Area that is subject to a lease under this section in such manner as the Minister thinks fit.
