Power to resume land in trust parklands
39 Power to resume land in trust parklands
The
Governor may, by proclamation, resume any of the land within trust parklands, if satisfied that the land is required for a public purpose.
On a proclamation being made under subsection (1), the land to which it relates will cease to be part of trust parklands and will vest in the Crown.
Subject to subsection (4) no compensation is payable to the statutory trust in respect of land so resumed.
If any improvements have been made to the land resumed and are in existence at the time of the resumption, the Governor will direct the Treasurer to pay the statutory trust an appropriate compensation having regard to the value of those improvements.
If land resumed under this section ceases to be used for a public purpose, the Minister must ensure that a report is prepared on the matter and that a copy of the report is laid before both Houses of
Parliament within 6 sitting days after the report is provided to the
Minister.
This section applies despite any other provision in this Act to the contrary.
