Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) A trustee may lease all or part of the trust land if the trustee first obtains the Minister's written 'in principle' approval to the lease.
(2) The Minister's approval may include conditions, including, for example, that a stated mandatory standard terms document must form part of the lease.
(2A) Despite subsections (1) and (2) a trustee may, without the Minister's approval, lease (a construction trustee lease) all or part of the trust land to the State for the construction of transport infrastructure and the provision of transport services on the lease land.
(2B) A construction trustee lease may be granted even if its purpose is inconsistent with the purpose for which the trust land was reserved or granted in trust.
(3) Each trustee lease must be registered in the appropriate register.
(3A) This section does not authorise the construction of works under a construction trustee lease before the lease is registered.
(4) Each trustee lease, other than a construction trustee lease, must be endorsed with the Minister's approval before it is registered.
(5) If the trustee lease is for only part of the trust land, the appropriate form for the trustee lease must also include—
(a) a sketch plan the chief executive is satisfied identifies the land being leased; or
(b) if required by the chief executive—a plan of survey identifying the land being leased.
(6) However, the chief executive may allow the land being leased to be identified by a description alone if the chief executive is satisfied the land is adequately identified by the description.
