sec.4 Achieving Act’s main object
Achieving this Act’s main object includes the following— the identification of outstanding lease entitlements; consultation, negotiation and agreement aimed at resolving practical obstacles to satisfying lease entitlements; consultation, negotiation and agreement aimed at resolving boundary problems affecting some 1985 Act granted leases. This Act allows for the deferral of the grant of a lease to satisfy a lease entitlement, having regard to the practical obstacles that may be identified. The purpose of a deferral is not to diminish a right to the grant of the lease, but is intended— to allow the resolution of the obstacles by agreement or a decision of the Land Court; and to ensure the grant, when made, is not affected by the obstacles in the way that would otherwise happen if there was a grant of the lease without an attempt at resolution.
