Abstract

An Act to provide for the control of abandoned lands in Tasmania. The Minister may issue an abandoned land notice in respect of land which meets requirements set out in section 4. Where the Minister is satisfied that a person is entitled to any estate or interest in the land to which an abandoned land notice relates, he may exclude from the operation of the notice those rights or, by agreement with that person, some other rights in substitution therefore. Land subject to a notice shall revert to and revest in the Crown freed and discharged from all estates and interests subsisting in any other person, save only such as may expressly be excluded from the operation of the notice. Objection may be made with the Director-General of Lands. Section 11 provides for compensation in respect of registration of abandoned land notices.
