10 Determination of purchase price after this Division commences
The Minister must, on determining a purchase price for land to which a pending Western lands lease purchase relates, give notice of the determination to the applicant.
The notice must include information to the effect that the applicant may object to the purchase price determined by the Minister.
The Minister must consider any objection lodged and by notice inform the objector—
whether the determination of the purchase price is to stand or be varied, and
that the objector, if dissatisfied with the Minister’s decision, may appeal as provided by subclause (4).
An applicant may appeal against the Minister’s decision—
if the purchase price determined does not exceed $150,000 or any greater amount that may be prescribed by the regulations—to the Civil and Administrative Tribunal, or
in any other case—to the Land and Environment Court.
Note.
An appeal to the Civil and Administrative Tribunal under this clause is an external appeal to the Tribunal for the purposes of the Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013. A decision of the Tribunal on such an external appeal may be appealed to the Land and Environment Court under Schedule 1 to that Act.
The Civil and Administrative Tribunal, or the Land and Environment Court, on hearing the appeal, may affirm the Minister’s determination or substitute its own.
