. the grant of further leases under Part V;
. the charges applicable to variations of leases under section 184;
. the process for notification and consideration of applications under Part Vl, and for review of decisions under that Part; and
. the provisions for enforcement of the Principal Act and of leases.
With the merging of the ACT Planning Authority and the ACT Land Division (responsible for the granting of leases and administration of the leasehold estate) into the Planning and Land Management Group, the composition of the Authority has been altered to reflect the joint function of the two former areas. There will no longer be a formal position of Chief Planner constituting the Authority - that function will be performed by the head of the administrative Group responsible for planning and the administration of leasehold.
The process for requiring, notifying and assessing Preliminary Assessments under Part IV has been simplified by clarifying and streamlining the provisions relating to the giving of notice and public consultation.
Sections 171 and 172 of the Act have been amended, and a new section 172A inserted, to provide for a simple and certain process for the granting of further leases at any time, rather than requiring the lease to be within the last 30 years of its original term. Section 171A will provide for the granting of further leases for rural purposes.
