Victorian Legislation and Parliamentary Documents1 Version No. 001 North Melbourne Lands Act 1996 Act No. 50/1996 Version as at 14 September 1999 Preamble In 1881, certain land at North Melbourne was permanently reserved for municipal purposes by Order in Council dated 17 October 1881 (the "1881 land"). In 1886, Act No. 906 (now repealed) provided for the exchange of part of the 1881 land for further land (the "1886 land"). That Act then permanently reserved for municipal purposes the 1886 land and vested the remainder of the 1881 land and the 1886 land, being the land described in items 1 and 2 in the Schedule to this Act, in the Crown. In 1888, the land described in items 1 and 2 in the Schedule to this Act was vested in the City of North Melbourne (now the City of Melbourne) by virtue of Act No. 973. To facilitate the sale of the land which is no longer required for the purposes for which it was reserved, it is desirable to revoke the permanent reservations and to repeal Act No. 973. The Parliament of Victoria therefore enacts as follows:

1. Purposes The purposes of this Act are— (a) to revoke the permanent reservations in respect of certain land at North Melbourne; and

Commencement This Act comes into operation on the day on which it receives the Royal Assent. 3. Revocation of permanent reservations (1) The Order in Council specified in item 1 of the Schedule is revoked. (2) The land specified in item 2 of the Schedule being the land described in the Second Schedule to Act No. 906 ceases to be subject to the reservation imposed by section 4 of that Act. (3) This section has effect despite anything to the contrary in any Act, law or instrument. 4. Repeal of Act Act No. 973 is repealed. 5. Consequences of revoking reservations and repeal of Act No. 973 On the commencement of this Act— (a) the land specified in items 1 and 2 of the Schedule is divested from the City of Melbourne; and (b) the land specified in items 1 and 2 of the Schedule is deemed to be unalienated land of the Crown, freed and discharged from all trusts, limitations, reservations, restrictions, encumbrances, estates and interests; and (c) the appointment of any committee of management of the land specified in items 1 and 2 of the Schedule is revoked to the extent that it relates to that land; and s. 2
