Amendment 94 revises clause 239 (2) (a) of the bill to amend the language of the provision to refer to a rental lease, because that is the term used in the bill and defined in clause 226 of the bill, by looking at definitions in chapter 9. Subclause (1) of clause 239 does not apply to a rental lease that is granted for the full market value of the lease.

Amendment 95 modifies clause 239 of the bill by inserting new subclauses (3) and (4). New subclause (3) states that an entity pays an amount that is not less than the market value if the total monetary component and the works component is not less than the market value. This clause clarifies that market value payment for a lease can be comprised of money and infrastructure or other works, provided that the total value of these items is equivalent to market value. This recognises that leases are occasionally granted where payment is by way of both money and in-kind services or works.

Amendments agreed to.

Clause 239, as amended, agreed to.
