Australian Heritage Council (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2003

This item applies if:

an asset other than land vests in the Commonwealth under item 3; and

there is lodged with an assets official a certificate that:

is signed by the Minister; and

identifies the asset; and

states that the asset has become vested in the Commonwealth under item 3.

The assets official may:

deal with, and give effect to, the certificate as if it were a proper and appropriate instrument for transactions concerning assets of that kind; and

make such entries in the register as are necessary having regard to the effect of this Schedule.

A document that appears to be a certificate under subitem (1) is to be taken to be such a certificate, and to have been properly given, unless the contrary is established.

In this item:

assets official means the person or authority who, under a law of the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory, under a trust instrument or otherwise, has responsibility for keeping a register in relation to assets of the kind concerned.
