Lang Park Trust Amendment
LANG PARK TRUST AMENDMENT ACT
EXPLANATORY NOTES
GENERAL OUTLINE
Objective of the Legislation
The objective of this Bill is to fast track the redevelopment of Lang Park
by exempting the Lang Park Trust from the necessity to comply with the
requirements of any town planning scheme and from the provisions of the
Noise Abatement Act and the Building Act.
Reasons for the Bill
It is essential for the future viability of Lang Park that the redevelopment
be completed by June 1994. The normal administrative time frames
applicable in town planning and building applications will not allow the
redevelopment to proceed swiftly. In order to complete the project by June
1994 extended hours may be required which necessitates the exemption
from the Noise Abatement Act.
Estimated Cost for Government Implementation
There will be no cost for the Government.
Consultation
There has been no consultation outside Government Departments.
NOTES ON PROVISIONS
Clause 1 sets out the short title of the Bill.
Clause 2 provides that the Bill amends the Lang Park Trust Act.

Lang Park Trust Amendment
Clause 3 inserts a new Section 9A. Subparagraph (1) defines certain
terms used in the Clause. Subsection (2) of the Clause provides that the
Planning Scheme does not apply to the Lang Park Site from 1st July, 1993.
This means that a consent application is not required for redevelopment of
the site. The Clause removes the necessity to seek development approval
from the Brisbane City Council for the redevelopment.
Subparagraph (3) of this Clause provides that the application is of no
effect and is taken to have never been made. Application means the
application made to the Brisbane City Council, by the Lang Park Trust, in
July 1993, seeking its consent to the redevelopment. This clause is really a
statement of the effect of subparagraph (2) but it also means that any actions
that could flow from the application (such as appeals) do not arise.
Subparagraph (4) clarifies that Lang Park Trust is a statutory body within
the meaning of the Building Act 1975 which removes the necessity to seek
building approval from the Brisbane City Council. However the Trust still
has to comply with the Standard Building By-laws.
Subparagraph (5) clarifies that the absence of an approval from the
Brisbane City Council does not make the carrying out of the redevelopment
work illegal.
The Governor in Council is empowered to make regulations for the
purposes of redevelopment of the site.
This Clause is only to have effect for two years.
