S. 133D(1) amended by Nos 76/1998 s. 11(e), 19/2018 s. 144(1).
On forfeiture of a lease or cancellation of a licence under section 133C or section 133F the lessee or licensee may remove all improvements on the land which are the property of the lessee or licensee and must make good any damage to the land to the satisfaction of the land manager.
S. 133D(2) amended by Nos 76/1998 s. 11(e), 19/2018 s. 144(2).
If an improvement is not removed from the land within a period specified by the land manager, it becomes the property of the Crown, and may be sold, removed, demolished or otherwise dealt with as the land manager directs.
To the extent that the costs of, or incidental to the sale, removal or demolition of any improvement on the land (including the making good of any damage to the land) exceed the net price received for the sale of any improvements or buildings, that amount becomes a debt due to the Crown by the former lessee or licensee.
