CROWN LANDS ACT 1929 - SECT 66A

66A—Power to add parcels of land to leases and agreements

        (1)         Where a parcel of Crown land—

            (a)         is adjacent to the land comprised in a lease or agreement; or

            (b)         is, in the opinion of the Minister, so situated that it may conveniently be worked in conjunction with the land comprised in a lease or agreement,

and, in the opinion of the Minister, there is no sufficient reason for inviting applications for the land, the Minister may, on the recommendation of the board—

            (c)         allot the parcel of land to the lessee or purchaser under the lease or agreement on such terms as are recommended by the board and accepted by the lessee or purchaser; and

            (d)         by a certificate of alteration, alter the lease or agreement to include the parcel of land and make any consequential alterations or additions to the terms, covenants or conditions of the lease or agreement.

        (3)         Every certificate of alteration under this section shall be signed by the Minister.

        (4)         The Minister shall forward the certificate of alteration, together with the lessee's or purchaser's copy of the lease or agreement (if produced to the Minister) to the Registrar-General of Deeds.

The Registrar-General of Deeds shall register the certificate of alteration in the Lands Titles Office and assign a number thereto, and shall enter a memorial thereof on the copy of the lease or agreement in the Register of Crown Leases, and on the lessee's or purchaser's copy (if it is forwarded to him) and after entry of the memorial on that copy he shall return it to the Minister of Lands.

        (5)         The land included in a lease or agreement pursuant to a certificate of alteration shall be subject to the mortgages, encumbrances, subleases or other interests to which the other land comprised in the lease or agreement is subject, unless the certificate otherwise provides. The Minister shall, upon the request of the lessee or purchaser, include in the certificate, a statement that the land to which it relates is not subject to any mortgage, encumbrance, sublease, or other interest specified in the certificate.
