70 Subleases for Aboriginal communities
(1) Despite section 38(1)(d) and 68(5), a pastoral lessee may, with the
consent of the Minister, sublet part of the land the subject of the
lessee's pastoral lease for Aboriginal community living purposes to
an incorporated body set up for the management of the Aboriginal
community by which the area subleased is or is to be used.
(2) For this section Aboriginal community living purposes includes
residential, educational and medical purposes, the keeping of
livestock and poultry and the growing of fruit and vegetables for use
by the Aboriginal persons in the community.
(3) Where the Territory erects improvements on an area the subject of
a pastoral lease sublet for Aboriginal community living purposes, it
may, within 3 months after the expiration or sooner determination of
the sublease, remove the improvements (including fixtures so
erected by the Territory) without liability for compensation to the
pastoral lessee.
