Housing Act 2003

This section applies to a notification made under the repealed Act, section 18(3), on or before 23 December 1996, that was in force immediately before the commencement day.

The notification continues in force.

A reference in the notification to land being set apart to be used for the purposes of the repealed Act is taken to be a reference to the land being set apart to be used for the purposes of this Act.

Subsection (3) is not a further setting apart of the land.

The Governor in Council may, by gazette notice—

repeal the notification to wholly revoke the setting apart of the land for use for the purposes of this Act; or

amend the notification, including to partly revoke the setting apart of the land for use for the purposes of this Act.

The chief executive may, as agent of the State, apply under the Land Act 1994 for land to which the notification applies to be—

granted in fee simple; or

leased for a term of years or in perpetuity.

For dealing with an application mentioned in subsection (6) under the Land Act 1994—

section 16 of that Act does not apply; and

a deed of grant or lease may be granted without competition.

The registration of a deed of grant under the Land Title Act 1994, or registration of a lease under the Land Act 1994, for land to which the notification applies revokes the notification to the extent it sets apart that land for use for the purposes of this Act.
