(1) In this section:
"Crown lands", "Islander" and "vacant Crown lands" have the meanings respectively ascribed thereto by the Lord Howe Island Act 1953 .
"former lessee" means a person, not being an Islander, who, at any time before the commencement of this Act, was the holder of a lease of Crown lands and surrendered those lands under section 22A of the Lord Howe Island Act 1953 , to permit the construction, on any part of those lands, of the scheduled works.

(2) The Minister for Lands may, under section 21 of the Lord Howe Island Act 1953 , grant a lease of vacant Crown land to a former lessee, notwithstanding that the former lessee is not an Islander, if that former lessee, before the commencement of this Act made, or within six months after that commencement makes, application therefor.

(3) Notwithstanding section 21 (9) of the Lord Howe Island Act 1953 , the rent of a lease granted as referred to in subsection (2) shall be such amount as is fixed by the Board by a determination made as soon as practicable after the lease is granted and, subject to subsection (4), shall operate in respect of the lease on and from the date of the grant.

(4) Section 25 (4) of the Lord Howe Island Act 1953 applies to and in respect of a lease granted as referred to in subsection (2) in the same way as it applies to and in respect of a lease referred to in section 25 (4) of that Act but as if the reference in section 25 (4) of that Act to the rent determined under section 25 (1) of that Act were a reference to the rent determined under subsection (3).
