Tasmania act
This Act lets the corporate Trustee override the original deed and sell or lease the Stanley Parsonage, but only with the consent of the Parish’s Rector and Churchwardens (ss 4–5). It also permits the Trustee to use trustee-for-sale powers under the Trustee Act (s 4(2)).
Net proceeds from any sale or lease must be applied for the Parish’s benefit (s 6). That changes who decides (the Trustee plus local consent), who benefits (the Parish) and creates a compliance duty to apply sale/lease powers and allocate proceeds accordingly (ss 4–6).
