LAND ACT 1933 - SECT 46
46 . Land may be declared open for selection
(1) The Minister may,
by notice in the Gazette , declare any Crown land as open for selection under
and subject to the provisions of this Part; and may, in like manner, withdraw
any such land from being open for selection:
Provided, that in the
case of lands which do not exceed 500 acres in extent the applications may be
restricted at the discretion of the Minister to persons who are the holders of
a leasehold estate in adjoining lands under the provisions of Part V. or an
estate in fee simple in such adjoining lands.
In this proviso the
term "adjoining lands" includes not only such lands as are actually adjacent
to the lands open for selection but land which may be separated therefrom by
any public road or way and also land which is so situated in relation to the
lands open for selection that the Minister is of opinion that the land and
lands open for selection may be conveniently worked as one holding.
(2) An incorporated
company is not eligible to select or acquire any lands under this Division.
