Illustration for Reserves Act 1977

The administering body can lease a recreation reserve used for racecourse purposes. You can lease the whole reserve or just a part of it. The lease can be for a certain amount of rent and with certain conditions, as long as they are not inconsistent with the purposes of the reserve.

The administering body can lease the reserve to anyone for up to 7 years at a time. They can also lease it to a racing club for up to 33 years, but only with the Minister's consent and subject to certain conditions. The lease to a racing club can be renewed for a similar term.

The administering body has these leasing powers in addition to the powers given by sections 54 and 73.
