131 Land containing Territory improvements may be excised
The Minister may, in a notice referred to in section 130(2), excise from a pastoral lease to which it relates such areas described in the notice as the Minister thinks fit that contain improvements constructed by or on behalf of the Territory, a local government council, the Commonwealth or a statutory authority of the Territory or the Commonwealth, and that section has the effect of converting the lease to a perpetual pastoral lease only in relation to so much of the land that was the subject of the existing lease as is not included in the excised areas described in the notice.
There is reserved to the Territory in every perpetual pastoral lease resulting from a declaration under section 130(2) such interests (including easements and easements in gross) as are necessary to provide essential services and facilities, being power (including gas), water, sewerage, road or communication services and facilities across the land the subject of the lease to an area excised under subsection (1).
