Neither the Esplanade land (Lot L 79 on Deposited Plan 230334) or Hyde Park (Lot Y 288 on Deposited Plan 41439) are Crown reserves.
The land in both cases is held under section 75 of the
Land
Administration Act 1997
(LAA) as conditional tenure land to be used for "Recreation purposes solely".
Section 75(7) of the LAA allows conditions affecting conditional tenure land to be cancelled by the Minister for Lands by order, on payment of the relevant amount determined under section 75 (4)(b)(i) or (ii) of the LAA.
In addition, section 75(7a) of the LAA, permits the Minister for Lands to, 'in prescribed circumstances, with the prior approval of the Treasurer', waive in whole or part the payment of the relevant amount.
