EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

STATUTORY RULES 2002 No. 189

Issued by the authority of the Minister for Transport and Regional Services

Airports Act 1996

Airports Amendment Regulations 2002 (No. 1)

Section 252 of the Airports Act 1996 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations prescribing matters required or permitted under the Act or necessary or convenient for giving effect to the Act.

Section 5 of the Act defines an airport site as a place that is declared by the regulations to be an airport site, and is a Commonwealth place, and is used, or intended to be developed for use, as an airport.

For the purposes of section 5 of the Act, paragraph 1.03(da) of the Airports Regulations 1997 (the principal Regulations) provides that Camden Airport is the place made up of the land described in Part 1.4A of Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations.

The purpose of the proposed Regulations is to amend of the principal Regulations to incorporate 3,700 square metres of land adjacent to Camden Airport into the Camden Airport site.

Camden Airport sought the Commonwealth's approval to acquire the strip of land, which is currently a road, to provide the airport with guaranteed access from Macquarie Grove Road. As the airport wanted the land included in the airport site, the Commonwealth acquired the land.

Camden Airport Limited has a lease for the Camden Airport. Section 161 of the Act provides that the airport site may not be varied by regulation without the written consent of the lessee. Camden Airport Limited has requested that the Regulations be varied to include the additional land.

The proposed Regulations would amend Part 1.4A in Schedule 1 to incorporate the additional land into the airport site.

Details of the proposed Regulations are contained in the attachment.

The proposed Regulations commence on gazettal.
