Leasing commitments
The NLA in its capacity as lessee has operating leases for a warehouse for housing of the NLA collection, which expired in May 2019 and reverted to hold over on a month by month basis; a lease of office space within the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, which expires 30 June 2022; and an agreement for the provision of a motor vehicle.
A new lease for a warehouse for housing of the NLA collection was entered into on 3 July 2019 for the period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020. As no commitment had been entered into at 30 June 2019 no commitment for this lease was recorded.
