### sec.360 Governor in Council may change freeholding leases
The Governor in Council may, by gazette notice, amend the description or anything else in a freeholding lease if—
on resurvey of the lease land, the boundaries of the land do not agree with the boundaries described in the lease or appropriate plan, and no doubt exists about the boundaries of the land; or
the lease is defective because of an error or omission in its preparation; or
the Governor in Council has approved of the mutual exchange, after agreement by the lessees of adjoining leases, of areas adjoining a common boundary between the leases; or
the Governor in Council has approved that an area of unallocated State land be included in the lease; or
the Governor in Council considers it necessary for another reason to correct the lease.
The registrar of titles must register the amendment.
An amended freeholding lease operates as if it had been originally issued or executed as amended.
