If land is set apart under subsection (1), then, subject to this subsection, the Governor in Council may, in the name of Her Majesty, demise by a lease in perpetuity or for a term of years that land to the person or body corporate to whom or which the chief executive is satisfied it is desirable to make that land available. The capital value of land demised under subsection (2) shall be such sum as the Governor in Council upon the recommendation of the chief executive shall fix. The Land Act 1994 applies, with all necessary changes, to a lease under subsection (2), except that— any provision of that Act which is inconsistent with a provision of subsection (2) to the extent of such inconsistency shall not so apply; and all coal, petroleum, helium, and minerals are hereby expressly declared to remain the property of the Crown; and all rents payable in respect of lands so demised shall be paid to the chief executive; and the lease may be granted subject to such covenants binding upon the lessee (with liability to forfeiture of the lease for a breach thereof) as the Governor in Council deems necessary to secure the performance by the lessee of the purpose for which the land was made available to the lessee.

For a rental period mentioned in subsection (3A), the rental shall be an amount that bears to the amount that would have been the rental had the period been a rental period referred to in subsection (4) the same proportion that the actual rental period expressed in weeks (in which expression a part of a week shall be taken to be a whole week) bears to 52.
