   (a)  there is a single freehold or leasehold title in relation to that area
        (whether or not that title is registered under a law of a State or
        Territory relating to the registration of interests in land); and

   (b)  no part of that area is subject to a lease granted by the holder of
        that title; and

        holder of that title; then, an area of land:

   (c)  all of which is within the area referred to in paragraph (a) of this
