### sec.27 Power of chief executive to lease, sell or otherwise dispose of land for transport purpose
The chief executive may, for the State, lease, sell or otherwise dispose of transport land—
if the land is for busway transport infrastructure or bus passenger services—to any person for busway transport infrastructure or bus passenger services; or
if the land is for franchised road or toll road purposes—to any person for franchised road or toll road purposes; or
if the land is for light rail transport infrastructure or light rail passenger services—to any person for light rail transport infrastructure or light rail passenger services; or
if the land is for a combination of purposes ( combined purposes ) including the purpose of a transport associated development ( relevant purpose )—to any person for a relevant purpose, whether or not the person is going to deal with the land for any other purpose included in the combined purposes; or
if the land is for a transport purpose other than a purpose mentioned in paragraph (a) , (aa) , (b) or (ba) —to a transport government entity or railway manager under the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994 .
Subsection (1) applies despite the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 .
Subsection (1) would operate, for example, despite any implication in the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 that the chief executive must carry out the development for which land is acquired and despite the requirements of section 41 of that Act.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that the power of the chief executive to acquire land by resumption or otherwise under this part applies even if the acquisition is carried out with the intention of disposing of land—
under subsection (1) ; or
as mentioned in subsection (1) (aa) , (b) or (c) under the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994 , section 84C , 240 or 355 .
Subsection (3) does not limit the power to acquire land under this part.
