I refer to our previous discussions and emails.On Thursd= ay 24 May 2007 I met with David Latina Executive Director and Craig Roberts Manager Small Business Policy, both from the Office of Small Business. We discussed the various difficulti= es aising from the application of the Retail Leases Act  to LG community leases, the existing determination made under section 5 of the Act dated 20 August 2004 & the difficulties arising from its provisions and canvassed some options.
 
The most significant of t= he possible options was the proposal that leases of land not rateable under s154 of the LGA or rated under the Cultural and Recreation Lands Act 1963 be exempt from the RLA. The Office of Small Business will instruct Dr Clyde Croft SC to provide advice on any practical ramifications or unintended consequences that may arise from this proposal.  The OSB will have the advice by no later than mid June after which they will be in a better position to formulate options for consultation
 
OSB i= s in the process of investigating the option and no policy decision has yet been made. There is a clear commitment to consult with local government on the way forward.  
 
I'd welcome any preliminary comments you may have relating to the proposal.
