What happens to Director's usage rights when Commonwealth reserve is revoked

  (1)   This section applies in relation to land or seabed that ceases to be included in a Commonwealth reserve because of a Proclamation made under section   350, except a Proclamation that causes the land or seabed:

  (b)   to be included in another Commonwealth reserve.

  (2)   A usage right relating to the land or seabed that the Director held vests in the Commonwealth, by force of this subsection.

  (3)   However, if the usage right is a lease of indigenous people's land, the usage right ceases to exist, by force of this subsection.

  (4)   If the land is in a State or Territory:

  (a)   the Director may give the officer of the State or Territory responsible for registering land titles a copy of the Proclamation, certified by the Director; and

  (b)   the officer may make an entry in his or her registers and do anything else needed to reflect the effect of this section.
