botanic gardens means all that parcel of land situated in the County of Stanley, Parish of North Brisbane, City of Brisbane, comprising an area of 57 ac and 3 rd or thereabouts, which was duly constituted a reserve for botanic gardens by an order in council published in the gazette on 1 July 1916, and which said order in council was amended by an order in council published in the gazette on the 12 August 1916, excluding from such parcel of land the land which is occupied by a building known as "the Botanic Museum," and also so much land as is sufficient to form a convenient curtilage for such museum, together with a reservation of a public right of way to and from the said museum, and such other reservations as may be deemed necessary, which excluded part of the said reserve shall be described, declared, and defined by an order in council published in the gazette.
(2) On and after 1 October 1925, the council shall control, manage, and maintain the Botanic Gardens, and the Botanic Gardens shall be deemed for all purposes of this Act to have been established by the council as a reserve for botanic gardens and a public park under this Act.
(3) On and after 1 October 1925, the Botanic Gardens shall by virtue of this Act be deemed to be permanently placed under the control of the council for the purposes declared in the aforesaid orders in council creating the said reserve and for no other purposes whatsoever, and the council shall be the trustees of the Botanic Gardens as a reserve within the meaning of the Land Act 1994.
(8) Without limiting its general power to make local laws under this Act, the council is expressly empowered to make all such local laws under this Act as it deems proper relating to the control, management, improvement, maintenance, use, and good government of the Botanic Gardens.
(9) However, until the council has made other provision by local law in that behalf the by-laws made by the trustees of the said reserve, a copy whereof was published in the gazette on 1 July 1916, shall remain in force with respect to the Botanic Gardens and shall be administered by the council; and for that purpose the said by-laws shall be construed as if references therein to the 'Minister' and 'gardens,' respectively, were references to the 'council' and the 'Botanic Gardens' respectively.
