Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

Royal Park Land Act 1999 authorises part of Royal Park (the State Netball and Hockey Centre land) to be used, and treated as always having been able to be used, for sport, recreation, entertainment, related purposes and for building works (s4). It also says the Crown will not pay compensation for anything done under that power (s5) and records an intention to affect the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction under s85 of the Constitution Act 1975 (s6). This changes legal rights over the specified park land.
