Land Act 1994

If the Minister considers it appropriate, the Minister may issue to the lessee of a lease issued under this Act an authority to agree to and as appropriate give effect to 1 or more of the following without seeking the Minister’s approval—

subleasing of the lease;

transferring a sublease of the lease;

amending a sublease of the lease;

creating an easement that burdens or benefits a sublease of the lease;

transferring a public utility easement that burdens a sublease of the lease;

amending an easement that burdens or benefits a sublease of the lease.

The authority applies only to the lease identified, and to the lessee named, in the authority.

In acting under the authority, the lessee must comply with any requirements prescribed under a regulation for this section.

The authority may include the conditions the Minister considers appropriate, and may be withdrawn at any time.

The authority is cancelled immediately either of the following dealings are registered in the leasehold land register—

For subsection (1)(d), (e) or (f), a reference to a sublease of a lease must not be taken to include a reference to a sub-sublease of a sublease of a lease.
