Validation of certain notices and relevant interests under section 34A of Crown Lands Act 1989
27 Validation of certain notices and relevant interests under section 34A of Crown Lands Act 1989
This clause applies to each of the following—
a notice published before the repeal day in the Gazette for the purposes of section 34A (2) (b) of the Crown Lands Act 1989 (a general purpose notice) in respect of a Crown reserve if—
the notice specified a purpose (other than the declared purpose of the reserve) for which the reserve was to be used or occupied, and
the notice did not specify the relevant interests under which the reserve could be used or occupied for that purpose,
the renewal of a relevant interest before the repeal day for which a notice was not published under section 34A (2) (b) of the Crown Lands Act 1989 for the renewal (an unnotified interest renewal).
To avoid doubt, both a general purpose notice and an unnotified interest renewal are taken to comply with (and always to have complied with) section 34A (2) (b) of the Crown Lands Act 1989.
Accordingly—
any relevant interest granted for a purpose specified in a general purpose notice is not invalid (and was never invalid) just because it was not specified in the notice, and
an unnotified interest renewal is not invalid (and was never invalid) just because a notice was not published under section 34A (2) (b) of the Crown Lands Act 1989 for the renewal.
A term used in this clause that was defined for the purposes of section 34A of the Crown Lands Act 1989 has the same meaning as it had in that section.
