The Proponent mayalso require and seek an easement or licence with respect to establishing access tracks and/or electricityreticulation across adjacent land such as that withdrawn by the ACT Government for the Majura Parkwayoverpass (between RB 707 and 708).The recent Majura Parkway development instigated a withdrawal by the ACT Government of certain landswithin RB 666 from the Crown Lease the Mount Majura Winery holds, and this has resulted in the creation ofnew Approved RB 706, which is not included within the Development Envelope, and RB 707 and 708, whichencompass the entirety of the Development Envelope.Mount Majura Winery is in ongoing communication with ACTPLA with respect to receiving a Balance CrownLease with respect to the new RB 706, 707 and 708.The Proponent has also lodged a Development Application (DA) with ACTPLA for a Lease Variation toaccommodate the Proposed Works in the Crown Lease.
