AUSTRALASIA RAILWAY (SPECIAL PROVISIONS) AMENDMENT BILL 2004
(This an uncorrected proof of the daily report. It is made available under the condition that it is recognised as such.)
Information :
Bill presented and read a first time.
Ms MARTIN (AustralAsia Railway): Madam Speaker, I move that the bill be now read a second time.
The purpose of the AustraliaAsia Railway (Special Provisions) Amendment Bill is to amend the AustraliaAsia Railway (Special Provisions) Act to extend the sunset date under section 14B(5) by 12 months.
The AustraliaAsia Railway (Special Provisions) Act recognises access, electricity and water easements in favour of private land holders adjoining the corridor. In addition, the act requires the Registrar-General to amend the Land Register to recognise those easements. During construction, owing to safety and construction requirements, the location of the access easements was varied. The act provides a mechanism to amend the Land Register to reflect the variations of those easements. The bill extends the availability of this mechanism to amend the Land Register by 12 months to enable the necessary amendments to be completed.
Madam Speaker, I commend the bill to honourable members.
Debate adjourned.
