Crown Land Management Act 2016

This clause applies to the lease granted to Silverton Wind Farms Developments Pty Ltd (the Silverton lease) under section 35XC of the Western Lands Act 1901 over certain land in the Western Division (the leased land), as in force immediately before the Act’s repeal.

If a lessee of any of the leased land (the new owner) applies for (and is granted) the right to purchase the land under this Act, the provisions of this Act relating to special purpose leases continue to apply in respect of the Silverton lease as if the Crown had retained ownership of the land as Crown land, and can be enforced by or against the Crown accordingly.

The new owner is bound by the Silverton lease in the same way as the owner would have been if the owner had continued to hold a lease from the Crown over the leased land instead of the freehold.

This clause ceases to bind the Crown, the lessee under the Silverton lease and the new owner if—

the lease (or, if renewed under an option, the renewed lease) is revoked under this Act, or

the lease (or renewed lease) expires.
