The purpose of the Land and Other Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2023 (the Bill) is to:
- improve regulatory efficiency and
- ensure the administration of state land and the place naming framework remain contemporary and responsive to community needs.
Specifically, the Bill amends:
- the Land Act 1994 and Land Regulation 2020 to reduce administrative complexity and remove regulatory duplication, with the aim being to improve the allocation of tenure by removing the requirement that the chief executive assess the ‘most appropriate use’ of the land
- the Land Title Act 1994 to reduce administrative burden and risk to the State by reducing the creation of unapproved unallocated State land
- the Place Names Act 1994 to provide clarification and broaden place naming considerations to reflect contemporary technologies and clarify the application of the legislation
- the Recreation Areas Management Act 2006 to enable the renaming by regulation of a recreation area declared under that Act
- other legislation to make minor administrative and consequential changes.
