Subject: Third line forcing notification N98886 lodged by Armstrong Creek Development Corporation Pty Ltd [DLM=For-Official-Use-Only]

Security Classification: For Official Use Only

Dear Ms Scroggie

I refer to the third line forcing notification lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (the ACCC) by Armstrong Creek Development Corporation Pty Ltd on 4 February 2016.  It has been allocated the registration number N98886. The notification and this email will be placed on the ACCC’s public register which is available on the ACCC’s website.

I note you provided a large amount of material in addition to the Form G (such as detailed plans and draft contracts). This additional material is not necessary for the ACCC’s assessment of House and Land package notifications and has not been placed on the public register.

The protection from legal action provided by the notification commences automatically 14 days after the lodgement date, unless the ACCC objects.

On the basis of the information that you have provided, and that the parties will disclose all relevant terms and conditions to customers, the ACCC does not object to the notification at this time.

If at any time circumstances change, or the ACCC receives further information, such that it is satisfied that the public benefits from the third line forcing conduct do not outweigh the public detriments, the ACCC may remove the protection provided by the notification.

Please contact Gina D’Ettorre on (03) 9290 1483 or by email to adjudication@accc.gov.au if you have any questions about this matter.

Regards
