MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 424

Houses on Rural Leases.

Mrs Nolan - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning

With regard to rural lease in the ACT -

(1) How many houses and which houses currently on rural leases

will be retained when those areas are developed and how many and

which ones will be demolished.

(2) Will those houses that are retained be sold to their current

long term lessee in the same way as Government housing premises

are being sold to long term tenants in urban areas.

(3) If so, how will the price of those houses be ascertained.

Mr Wood - the answer to the Members question is as follows:.

(1) Of the land presently programmed for land development only Gungahlin has properties that include houses which will be affected by development. In all ten (10) properties include houses.

Only one property, Gold Creek Homestead, has a 99 year City Area Leases Act lease and the homestead and other buildings on this property are likely to be retained within the future urban development.

Land withdrawal procedures have begun on the Ginninderra Park Homestead property to allow for the next area to be developed.

The other eight properties will gradually be withdrawn in accordance with the land development program.

At the detailed planning and design phase of each development area the decision will have to be taken whether to incorporate existing houses into the subdivision or to demolish them.
