Victorian Plantations Corporation Act 1993

On its vesting in the Corporation under this Division, vested land—

ceases to be subject to any permanent or temporary reservation applying to it under the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978;

ceases to be reserved forest;

except as otherwise provided in this Act, ceases to be subject to the Forests Act 1958.

This section does not—

affect the continuity of status or effect of any lease, licence, permit or authority existing over vested land immediately before its vesting under this Division; or

affect the operation of the Geothermal Energy Resources Act 2005, the Greenhouse Gas Geological Sequestration Act 2008, Petroleum Act 1998, Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990 or the Water Act 1989; or

bring vested land under the operation of the Transfer of Land Act 1958; or

prevent the issue of a Crown grant for vested land under Division 2; or

affect any easement, interest, right, power or privilege existing over the vested land immediately before its vesting under this Division in favour of a body corporate created under an Act or an Act of the Commonwealth and relating to drainage, telephone or other communications, or the supply of electricity or gas.

A lease, licence, permit or authority referred to in subsection (2)(a) must be taken to have been granted by the Corporation, and, in relation to any period on or after the commencement of this section, a reference (however expressed) to the grantor of the lease, licence, permit or authority must be taken to be a reference to the Corporation.

Section 4(1) of the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978 does not apply to vested land.

Subject to this Division, the Corporation has the same rights and remedies in relation to the entry of persons on to vested land as it would have if it were the owner of that land.
