Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Act authorises two named trustees (or the survivor or their legal representative) to sell a specific parcel called Geraldton Suburban Lot B, to divide it as they see fit, and requires the Registrar of Titles to register transfers free of the existing trusts. It also validates any prior sales of that land. It affects the Geraldton Agricultural and Horticultural Society (as beneficiary), the named trustees, purchasers and the Registrar, because it converts trust-held land into marketable freehold and makes sale proceeds available to the Society.
