Abstract

This Act, consisting of 74 sections divided into seven Parts and completed by six Schedules, makes provision for the tenure, management, and alienation of crown lands. "Crown lands" means land which is vested in the Crown, and which is not contracted to be granted in fee simple; and includes land granted in fee simple which has revested in the Crown by way of purchase or otherwise. Subject to this Act the Minister has power to manage and dispose of all Crown land. Land districts and parishes existing at the commencement of this Act are continued for the purposes of this Act. Crown land shall be disposed of in accordance with this Act and not otherwise. Public purposes for which land may be reserved include the conservation of the natural biological diversity or geological diversity of the area of land, and the sustainable development and use of natural resources.
