I move amendment No. 9:

In page 9, line 35, to delete “therefor” and substitute “at a reasonable rent therefor”.

This technical amendment adds "at a reasonable rent" to the definition of "vacant property" in this section. Section 14 of the Local Government Act 1946 includes "at a reasonable rent" as a condition for the refunding of rates on vacant properties. This definition is part of established rates practice.
