Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 8 Hansard (25 August) . . Page.. 2465 ..

It is noted the Chief Minister's letter to the Prime Minister dated 10 April, 1995 identifies the Hospice and the cottage to be retained by the ACT. Further, the attachment to Mr Townsend's letter dated 8 May, 1995 to Mr Gary Prattley, then of the National Capital Planning Authority, notes the Territory's need to retain the hospice/cottage land will be reviewed at the end of the current agreements.

To simplify the Land Exchange, one option for consideration by both Governments may be that the Hospice/cottage site be exchanged with the balance of the Peninsula. Under this option the Hospice would become a tenant of the Commonwealth, just as the Australian Government Publishing Office is to become a tenant of the ACT upon the Land Exchange.

A review of the license will help determine, in the event this option is selected, whether the current license can be assigned to the Commonwealth or whether a new agreement would need to be drafted.

Thank you for your assistance,

Yours sincerely,

Jeremy Morris
