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 />
