QUESTION NUMBER 172

Fairbairn Park - Lease

Ms McRae - asked the Minister for Sport and Recreation - In relation to Block
306 Majura known as Fairbairn Park -

(1) who is currently the leaseholder;

(2) when will the lease expire;

(3) will there be open invitations for new potential leaseholders when the lease expires;

Mr Stefaniak - the answer to the Member's question is as follows:

(1) Fairbairn Park Control Council;

(2) the lease is currently operating on a continued occupancy clause from quarter to quarter (3 monthly) and can do so indefinitely;

(3) as the land is currently leased, and the lease can continue indefinitely, it is not expected there will be a requirement for invitations for a new leaseholder;
