LAND ADMINISTRATION ACT 1997 - SECT 23

23 .         Subdivision etc. of Crown land subject to continuing interests etc.

        (1)         If the Minister proposes to survey or resurvey the internal or external boundaries (or both) of, or to subdivide under section 27, Crown land the subject of any interests or caveats, the Minister may, with or without the consent of the holders of the interests, or of the relevant caveators, by order incorporating a plan of survey or sketch plan or revised plan of survey or sketch plan make such adjustments to those boundaries as —

            (a)         the Minister considers necessary; and

            (b)         accord with any proposed plan of subdivision approved under the Planning and Development Act 2005 ,

                without any obligation to make or pay compensation.

        (2)         On the approval by an authorised land officer of a plan of survey or sketch plan or revised plan of survey or sketch plan referred to in subsection (1) and the registration of the order with reference to that plan of survey or sketch plan or revised plan of survey or sketch plan, the internal or external boundaries (or both) of the relevant Crown land are adjusted accordingly —

            (a)         despite the existence of any interests registered or caveats lodged in respect of that Crown land; and

            (b)         with or without the consent of the holders of those interests or of the relevant caveators.

        (3)         The Minister must ensure that an adjustment made under subsection (2) is made in conformity with sound planning and land management principles so as to cause as little detriment as possible to any interest or caveat affected by that adjustment.

        (4)         On the adjustment under subsection (2) of the internal or external boundaries (or both) of Crown land subject to interests or caveats, the interests or caveats apply to the relevant locations or lots within those boundaries and not to the Crown land referred to in the instruments which created those interests or caveats.

        [Section 23 amended by No. 38 of 2005 s. 7.]
