Preamble

By an Order in Council dated 9 June 1873 land known as Yarra Park was permanently reserved as a site for a public park.

By a Crown grant dated 13 June 1873 and entered in the register book of the Office of Titles Volume 600 Folio 119902, the Board of Land and Works and the Council of the City of Melbourne were appointed as joint trustees of Yarra Park.

By an Order in Council dated 9 October 1917, the Council of the City of Melbourne was appointed as the committee of management for Yarra Park.

The Minister for Environment and Climate Change and the Council of the City of Melbourne are the current trustees of Yarra Park.

It is expedient that the appointment of the Council of the City of Melbourne as the committee of management for Yarra Park and the appointment of the joint trustees of Yarra Park be revoked and that the Melbourne (Yarra Park) Land Act 1980, the Melbourne Cricket Ground Act 2009 and the Conservation, Forests and Lands Act 1987 be amended in order to appoint the Melbourne Cricket Ground Trust as the committee of management for Yarra Park.

The Parliament of Victoria therefore enacts:
