📜 Government Railways Amendment Bill 1998
Assented toLCBill 11819 March 1998
This bill amends the Government Railways Act 1904 to authorise the lease of railway land at Subiaco and Joondalup for up to 99 years, and grants Cooperative Bulk Handling (CBH) an option to purchase leased land. It also clarifies rates exemptions for leased railway land.
Impact
This affects Cooperative Bulk Handling (CBH), local governments, and potentially residents near the Subiaco and Joondalup railway land. It matters because it changes land use and local government revenue.
Key Changes
["Authorises 99-year leases for railway land at Subiaco and Joondalup.", "Grants CBH an option to purchase leased railway land.", "Clarifies that leased land at Subiaco and Joondalup is rateable, while CBH's leased land remains exempt."]
