5  Simplified outline of this Ordinance

      National Land is land within the Australian Capital Territory that the Commonwealth continues to manage following the establishment of self‑government in the Territory.
      This Ordinance sets out the process for determining the location or character (or both) of national memorials proposed to be located on National Land. The Minister may determine the location or character (or both) of a national memorial after the Canberra National Memorials Committee has considered a proposal and made a recommendation. Any person or body can make a submission to the Minister or the Committee regarding the location or character (or both) of a national memorial.
      This Ordinance provides for the Minister to determine:
             (a) the name of a division of the Territory, or a part of a division of the Territory, that is on National Land; and
             (b) the name of a public place, or that part of a public place, that is on National Land.
      A person or body can object to a determination made by the Minister. The Committee must consider an objection and make a recommendation to the Minister, who must consider whether or not to amend or repeal the determination.
      The Committee may refer other matters to the Minister for consideration.
      This Ordinance continues in existence the Canberra National Memorials Committee and provides for the appointment of persons to the Committee. The Ordinance also sets out how meetings of the Committee are to be held and how the Committee can make decisions without meetings.
