The Court held that on the proper construction of the 1933 Act the contested Eyre Riverbed was not vested in the Trust or its successor because the statutory process envisaged by s12 (including compliance with the District Land Registrar's requirements and the sequence of notices and issuance of certificates) was not completed in respect of the disputed land; accordingly the Council does not hold a vested interest in the Eyre Riverbed by virtue of the Act.
