When purchase applications can be granted
6 When purchase applications can be granted
The Minister may grant a purchase application for Crown land under a continued tenure perpetual lease—
if the Minister is satisfied that—
there was an existing application right in relation to the land, or
the lessee would have had a right to have the application granted under subclause (2) if it had been made within the 2-year period referred to in that subclause, or
in any other circumstances prescribed by the regulations.
However, the Minister must grant a purchase application for Crown land under a continued tenure perpetual lease—
if there was an existing purchase right in relation to the land and the application is made within 2 years after the repeal of the repealed holding Act under which the right arose, or
in any other circumstances prescribed by the regulations.
Note.
An applicant may still make an application under subclause (1) after the expiry of the 2-year period. However, the Minister is not required to grant applications under subclause (1).
The regulations may make provision for or with respect to any other considerations that may or must be taken into account in determining whether to grant or refuse purchase applications (or kinds of purchase applications) under subclause (1).
