LAND ACT 1994 - SECT 24
Disposal of reservations no longer needed
24 Disposal of reservations no longer needed
(1) If a reservation for a public purpose in a deed of grant or freeholding
lease is no longer needed for the purpose, the Governor in Council may sell
all or part of the land in the reservation to the registered owner of the deed
of grant or the lessee of the lease. Note— A deed of grant issued because
of the disposal of a reservation is issued under section 358 .
(2)
Alternatively, if the reservation is adequate in size to be used by a person
other than the registered owner or lessee and the registered owner or lessee
does not buy the land— (a) possession of all or part of the land reserved
may be resumed; and
(b) the land resumed may be dealt with as unallocated
State land.
(3) Land in a reservation may be sold under subsection (1) only
if the registered owner or lessee has applied to the Minister to buy the land,
and the Minister is satisfied the reservation is no longer needed.
(4) In
making a decision under subsection (3) , the Minister must have regard to the
purpose of the reservation and the likely future use of the land. Example—
If the reservation is for road purposes, the Minister will have regard to
whether the road is likely to be needed.
