(2) A reference to the Land Board in any Act or instrument will be taken (if the context allows) to be a reference to the Minister. 9—Land dedicated prior to commencement (1) Any Crown land that is, immediately before the commencement of this clause, under the care, control and management of a person or body under any of the relevant Acts will, on the commencement of this clause, be taken to be land dedicated for the purposes of the person or body and placed under the care, control and management of the person or body under this Act. (2) Any land that is, immediately before the commencement of this clause, dedicated for a purpose under any of the relevant Acts will, on the commencement of this clause, be taken to continue to be land dedicated for that purpose under this Act. 10—Grant of fee simple prior to commencement (1) If, before the commencement of this clause, the fee simple in land was granted conditionally under any of the relevant Acts, the title conferred by the grant will be taken to be subject to a Crown condition agreement under this Act. (2) If, before the commencement of this clause, the fee simple in land was granted under any of the relevant Acts subject to a trust, the title conferred by the grant will be taken to be subject to a Crown condition agreement under this Act (the conditions of the agreement being those of the former trust). (2a) If land referred to in subclause (2) is dedicated land by virtue of clause 9— (a) the dedication will be taken to be revoked if the Crown condition agreement is revoked in accordance with this Act (and section 19 does not apply to the revocation of the dedication); and (b) section 22 does not apply in relation to a lease granted in relation to the land. (3) On the commencement of this clause, land held in fee simple for a particular purpose in pursuance of a grant under section 241 of the Crown Lands Act 1929 will be taken to be land subject to a Crown condition agreement (the condition of the agreement being that the land continue to be used for the purposes of the grant). (4) If, immediately before the commencement of this clause, a person is the holder of a Treasury receipt, or land grant, in respect of land, the person will, on the commencement of this clause, be taken to be the holder of the fee simple in the land. (5) Any condition of a grant in fee simple made under any of the relevant Acts requiring the consent of the Minister for a transfer, assignment, lease, mortgage or encumbrance is void. 11—Agreements under relevant Acts (1) The Minister may exercise powers and functions under this Act in relation to an agreement to purchase land (an agreement) entered into under any of the relevant Acts as if the agreement were a lease granted under this Act. (2) Despite the conditions of an agreement, the purchaser under such an agreement is entitled to obtain, at any time, a grant of the fee simple of the land subject to the agreement if the purchaser has complied with the conditions of the agreement and pays the balance of the purchase price and the interest payable up to that time. 12—Preservation of easements A right in relation to Crown land created under any of the relevant Acts and in force immediately before the commencement of this clause continues in force and may, if it could have been created under this Act by the grant of an easement in or over the Crown land, be treated for all purposes as if it were created by the grant of an easement under this Act. 13—Leases and licences under relevant Acts (1) A lease or licence granted under any of the relevant Acts and in force immediately before the commencement of this clause continues as a lease or licence under this Act (and the provisions of this Act relating to leases and licences apply as if the lease or licence had been granted under this Act). (2) Nothing in this clause affects any liability (including a liability to pay rent or any other amount) arising under a lease or licence prior to the commencement of this clause. 15—Perpetual leases granted by Commissioner of Educational Lands (1) A perpetual lease granted by the former Commissioner of Educational Lands and in force immediately before the commencement of this clause continues as a perpetual lease under this Act (and the provisions of this Act relating to leases apply as if the lease had been granted under this Act). (2) Nothing in this clause affects any liability (including a liability to pay rent or any other amount) arising under a lease prior to the commencement of this clause. 16—Conditions (1) Any condition as to insurance that was, by virtue of any of the relevant Acts, to be implied in a lease or agreement granted or made before the commencement of this clause continues to apply to the lease or agreement despite the repeal of the relevant Act. (2) Any condition of a lease or agreement granted or entered into under any of the relevant Acts— (a) requiring or providing for the preservation or clearance of timber, scrub or vegetation on the land subject to the lease or agreement; or (b) requiring that the lessee or purchaser reside on the land subject to the lease or agreement, is of no effect. 17—Transfer of assets, rights and liabilities of Lyrup Village Association On the commencement of clause 6, all assets, rights and liabilities of the Lyrup Village Association (continued in existence under section 85 of the Crown Lands Act 1929) are transferred to the Lyrup Village Settlement Trust Incorporated (constituted under the Irrigation Act 1994). 18—Validation of certain administrative acts Despite the provisions of section 9(1) of the Irrigation (Land Tenure) Act 1930, all real property to which that section refers will be taken, on the commencement of that section, to have reverted to being Crown lands within the meaning of the Crown Lands Act 1929 as in force at the commencement of that section (and an administrative act prior to the commencement of this clause involving such land will not be invalidated by reason of the land being dealt with as if it were such Crown lands).
