Land ordinance disallowance urged by Senate committee
The Senate Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances tabled its report urging disallowance of the ACT Freehold Land Subdivision and Use Ordinance. If not amended, Senator Wood is expected to move disallowance on October 19 in a second report. The committee objects to a recent amendment repealing four defences for lessees misusing residential land. It cites ministerial discretion and lack of public appeal rights, recommending the ordinance be disallowed to curb government overreach.
