These acquisitions complete the contracts that were transferred to the Suburban Land Agency under the transitional provisions from the former Land Development Agency. These contracts were detailed in the Financial Management (Land Development Agency transfer to Suburban Land Agency) Declaration, Schedule 2, Contracts for the Purchase of Land. This was a notifiable instrument under the Financial Management Act 1996.
As I indicated in my tabling of the first quarterly acquisitions report, strategic acquisitions of privately held leases of land, including parcels reported this quarter, are required to support future development for future generations. The sites acquired in this quarter provide land to facilitate improved security of electricity infrastructure for the ACT through the establishment of a second power supply. The electrical sub-station project and associated easements will be delivered by TransGrid. This project will ensure that we can meet the needs of new residential areas, including the Ginninderry development, and ensure that an alternative supply is available to the ACT.
The land will also allow for the development of a water reservoir and associated water mains to be constructed by Icon Water, which will provide the future water supply requirements of Ginninderry and surrounding areas. I commend the report to the Assembly.
