10.0 Occupancy & Lease Details<br />

"Rosny Hill Nature Recreation Area" 12A Akuna Street<br />

Occupancy Status Property is currently used by the general public free of charge.<br />

Rosny, Tasmania<br />

Legislative Framework It is proposed that the Minister would enter into a long term lease<br />

with the <strong>Clarence</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Council</strong> under section 48 of the National Parks<br />

and Reserves Management Act 2002. <strong>Council</strong> would then enter into a<br />

sub-lease (as approved by the Minister) with the preferred<br />

developer/proponent.<br />

Any development of the Reserve would be via a sub-lease, whilst the<br />

Minister also has the right to issue business licences.<br />

Tenure Options for<br />

Development<br />

10.1 Possible Ground Lease Terms<br />

In the event development was to occur on part of the property the<br />

recommended form of tenure to be offered to a proponent is by way<br />

of a ground lease (by virtue of a Crown Land Lease).<br />

Ordinarily development on this type of property would be undertaken on the basis of a long term<br />

lease of the land to a tenant who would construct improvements (tenant improvements) to meet<br />

their business requirements (subject to the approval of the lessor). Alternatively the <strong>Council</strong> could<br />

construct improvements and lease the land and buildings to a tenant, although this involves capital<br />

expenditure and the improvements may not meet the specific requirements of tenants.<br />

For any substantial development by an operator to occur, the proponent is likely to require secure<br />

land tenure. This in part will be required to facilitate financing of any development. Given the land<br />

is and is expected to remain in the ownership of the Crown, freehold land tenure is not expected to<br />

be offered.<br />

Our recommendation to assist facilitating any substantial development is to offer a long term<br />

ground (sub) lease on terms and conditions similar to the following:<br />

Lessor/Landlord Major and Aldermen of the <strong>City</strong> of <strong>Clarence</strong><br />

Lessee/Tenant Yet to be nominated<br />

Demised Premises Land to be defined by way of illustration plan<br />

Commencement Date Yet to be specified<br />

Initial Term 25 yrs<br />

Options 25 yrs<br />

Commencement Rent To be negotiated<br />

Rent Reviews Annualy in accordance with movements in the Consumer Price Index<br />

with the rent reviewed to the market rent of the land every 5 years<br />

Net or Gross Net<br />

Outgoings The tenant is to pay all outgoings including their share of land tax (on<br />

a single holding basis), <strong>Council</strong> Rates and water and serwage rates.<br />

Permitted Use To be agreed<br />

Special Provisions The lessee shall undertake all works required to complete the<br />

development within a specified time frame. If the lessor gives due<br />

notice to complete the development and the lessee fails to complete<br />

the development within the timeframe specified, the lease shall be<br />

surrendered and become null and void.<br />

If required by the lessor, all improvements made by the lessee shall<br />
