3/10 complexity
This Act dedicates the land described in Schedule 1 as the site for the Governor’s residence and reserves it “for all time” to that purpose, prohibiting other uses. A 2017 amendment (s.2(ab)) allows part of the land to be leased, licensed or otherwise used to raise revenue that must be applied to maintenance and preservation. The boundary is fixed by a Surveyor‑General plan (Schedule 1/Plan No. 965).
