Continued operation of provisions for appointing grantees
303 Continued operation of provisions for appointing grantees
This section applies despite the amendment of this Act by the Aboriginal Land and Torres Strait Islander Land and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2011.
The Minister may, on or before 31 December 2011 and under previous section 40, appoint persons the Minister considers necessary to be the grantees, as trustees for the benefit of Aboriginal people, of land the subject of a deed of grant under previous section 38.
The Minister may, on or before 31 December 2011 and under previous section 75, appoint persons the Minister considers necessary to be the grantees, as trustees for the benefit of the group of Aboriginal people concerned, of land.
If the Minister appoints grantees under previous section 40 or 75, the grantees are, on appointment, taken to be incorporated as a land trust under this Act for the land.
As soon as practicable after the grantees are incorporated, the Minister must, by gazette notice, state—
the name of the land trust; and
the description of the land as stated in the deed of grant held by the grantees; and
an address for service of documents on the land trust.
The last 2 words of the name of the land trust must be the words ‘Land Trust’.
