THE LAND (LEASES AND MANAGEMENT) BILL ITSELF PROVIDES THE METHOD FOR CALCULATING BETTERMENT CHARGES ARISING FROM VARIATIONS OF A LEASE. AS MEMBERS WILL RECALL, I HAVE ALREADY ANNOUNCED THE NEW METHOD THAT WILL APPLY TO THE CALCULATION OF BETTERMENT AND THIS BILL WILL ENABLE MY ANNOUNCEMENT TO TAKE EFFECT FROM THE DATE PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED, THAT IS, MIDNIGHT ON 21 FEBRUARY 1990.
SEPARATE TRANSITIONAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL AMENDMENTS LEGISLATION WILL PROVIDE FOR THE OLD BETTERMENT FORMULA TO APPLY IN RELATION TO APPLICATIONS LODGED WITH THE SUPREME COURT OR THE GOVERNMENT BEFORE MIDNIGHT ON 21 FEBRUARY 1990.
THE LAND USE (APPROVALS AND ORDERS) BILL PROVIDES FOR THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH IT WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR AN APPLICANT TO APPEAL AGAINST DECISIONS REFUSING A VARIATION AND SIMILARLY, PROVIDES THAT IN SPECIFIED CIRCUMSTANCES THIRD PARTIES MAY APPEAL AGAINST THE MERITS OF A DECISION TO VARY A LEASE.
MR SPEAKER, I NOW TURN TO A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF WHAT ELSE THE BILL WILL COVER AND HOW THE PROCEDURES IT DESCRIBES WILL OPERATE.
AS MEMBERS WILL QUICKLY NOTE, THE BILL IS A SUBSTANTIAL DOCUMENT CONTAINING NEARLY NINETY SECTIONS. ACCORDINGLY IT WILL BE APPRECIATED THAT ITS PREPARATION AND DRAFTING HAS BEEN AN INTENSIVE PROCESS. AT CERTAIN POINTS IN THE BILL STATEMENTS OF THE GOVERNMENTS PROPOSALS TAKE THE PLACE OF FORMALLY DRAFTED PROVISIONS.
