Definition of “Crown land”
1.7 Definition of “Crown land”
Subject to this Division, each of the following is Crown land for the purposes of this Act—
land that was Crown land as defined in the Crown Lands Act 1989 immediately before the Act’s repeal,
land that becomes Crown land because of the operation of a provision of this Act or a declaration made under section 4.4,
land vested, on and from the repeal of the Crown Lands Act 1989, in the Crown (including when it is vested in the name of the State).
Note.
Clause 6 of Schedule 7 provides for certain land under Acts repealed by Schedule 8 to become Crown land under this Act. Section 1.10 then provides for this land to be vested in the Crown.
Land that will become Crown land under this Act includes land vested in the Crown that is dedicated for a public purpose. This land was previously excluded from the definition of Crown land in the Crown Lands Act 1989. See also section 1.8 (2).
