New South Wales regulation
This Order applies section 64A of the Duties Act 1997 to transfers (or agreements to transfer) Western Lands leases used for particular rural, tourism and aquaculture purposes. It specifies which combinations of uses (for example grazing, cultivation, agriculture, mixed farming with permitted add‑ons such as tourism, feedlot, film‑making and aquaculture) qualify, requires the Governor’s Order and Gazette publication, and applies to transfers made on or after 2 February 1999. It therefore affects parties to those lease transfers by setting the legal duty treatment under s64A.
