About this statute

This excerpt sets out the Act’s scope, commencement process, savings, and key definitions for land-law terms. This provision sets definitions and gives the Minister, State Authority, and State officers powers over land registration, schedules, rules, delegation, and administration. This provision gives the State Authority and land officers various land-management powers, sets enquiry procedures, restricts certain officers from buying land for sale, imposes secrecy duties, and creates rules for tree removal, notices, and compensation. The State Authority can lease, revoke, and permit certain land uses, but reserved land disposal is restricted and some permits have deposit, duration, and revocation rules. The State Authority may set conditions for underground land, and some matters must be endorsed on title; rent arrears can trigger notice and forfeiture rules.
