sec.172 Recording of indigenous management agreement
The chief executive must give the registrar notice of each indigenous management agreement entered into under this Act. The chief executive must give the notice— if the land the subject of the agreement becomes Aboriginal land after the agreement is entered into—as soon as practicable after the land becomes Aboriginal land; or if the land the subject of the agreement is Aboriginal land when the agreement is entered into—as soon as practicable after the agreement is entered into. The notice must include particulars of the land. The registrar must keep records that show the land is the subject of an indigenous management agreement. The registrar must keep the records in a way that a search of the register kept by the registrar under any Act relating to title to the land will show the existence of the agreement. While the indigenous management agreement has effect for the land, and is recorded by the registrar under this section, the agreement is binding on— each entity that is from time to time the trustee for the land, whether or not the entity entered into the agreement or agreed to any amendment of the agreement; and each person who has an interest in the land. s 172 ins 2007 No. 48 s 38 amd 2008 No. 29 s 42 ; 2011 No. 26 s 64 ; 2013 No. 23 s 352 sch 1 pt 1 ; 2021 No. 12 s 148 sch 3 (sec.172-ssec.1) The chief executive must give the registrar notice of each indigenous management agreement entered into under this Act.
