LAND ADMINISTRATION ACT 1997 - SECT 22

22.         Interest or caveat to continue despite change in status of Crown land

        (1)         In this section —

        reserve excision order means an order made under section 42(3), 43(1)(a) or (c), 45(2) or 51(1) or (2) that excises an area from a reserve.

        (2)         An interest or caveat to which Crown land is subject continues if the Crown land —

            (a)         is, or ceases to be, reserved under section 41; or

            (b)         is, or ceases to be, dedicated, reserved, set apart or vested under another written law.

        (3)         Despite subsection (2), if Crown land ceases to be reserved under section 41 as the result of a reserve excision order, an interest or caveat to which the Crown land is subject is extinguished, on registration of the reserve excision order, unless —

            (a)         the interest or caveat only applies to the Crown land; and

            (b)         the reserve excision order specifies that the interest or caveat continues.

        (4)         If a lease continues under this section, the Minister may, with the consent of the lessee, vary the terms of the lease and must, if the Minister does so, lodge that variation with the Registrar.

        (5)         The continuation of an interest or caveat under this section is subject to the other provisions of this Act.
