ABORIGINAL HERITAGE ACT 1972 - SECT 47

47 .         Compulsory acquisition of objects

        (1)         Where the Minister is of the opinion that it would be in the general interest of the community to acquire any object to which this Act applies the Minister may give notice to the person owning, or apparently having the custody and control of, that object of his desire to acquire that object at a price therein specified.

        (2)         A notice given by the Minister under the provisions of subsection (1) has effect as though it were the reply to an offer for sale made to the Minister by the person to whom the notice was given in relation to an object classified as Aboriginal cultural material pursuant to section 43 and any dispute as to what constitutes a reasonable price shall be determined by the State Administrative Tribunal in accordance with the provisions of that section.

        [Section 47 amended: No. 24 of 1995 s. 41; No. 55 of 2004 s. 9.]
