LAND ADMINISTRATION ACT 1997 - SECT 23

23 .         Adjustment of boundaries of Crown land for purposes of survey or resurvey

        (1)         If the Minister proposes to survey or resurvey the internal or external boundaries (or both) of Crown land the subject of any interests or caveats, the Minister may, with or without the consent of the holders of the interests, or of the relevant caveators, by order make any adjustment to those boundaries the Minister considers necessary, in accordance with a plan of survey or sketch plan specified in the order, without any obligation to make or pay compensation.

        (2)         On the registration of an order referred to in subsection (1), the internal or external boundaries (or both) of the relevant Crown land are adjusted accordingly —

            (a)         despite the existence of any interests registered or caveats lodged in respect of that Crown land; and

            (b)         with or without the consent of the holders of those interests or of the relevant caveators.

        (3)         The Minister must ensure that an adjustment made under subsection (2) is made in conformity with sound planning and land management principles so as to cause as little detriment as possible to any interest or caveat affected by that adjustment.

        (4)         On the adjustment under subsection (2) of the internal or external boundaries (or both) of Crown land subject to interests or caveats, the interests or caveats apply to the relevant locations or lots within those boundaries and not to the Crown land referred to in the instruments which created those interests or caveats.

        [Section 23 amended: No. 38 of 2005 s. 7; No. 4 of 2023 s. 12.]
