Acquisition of land by Request
Where The State of New South Wales vests land in the New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council or in a Local Aboriginal Land Council under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (NSW), NSW LRS may lodge a Request form 11R to record the Aboriginal Land Council as the registered proprietor on the title.
The request does not require marking by Revenue NSW.
The name of the Aboriginal Land Council is shown in the first schedule.
Any reference to minerals and/or reservations is removed from the folio and replaced with a new notification in the second schedule. See Minerals below.
An appropriate notification is also entered in the second schedule. The two key notifications are as follows:
"Subject to conditions in Memorandum AI55778. Restrictions on dealings and plans see Part 2, Division 4 Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (This is not affected by section 42) Any dealing or plan must be accompanied by a Registration Approval Certificate or statement of non-requirement."
"Subject to conditions in Memorandum AI55778. Restrictions on dealings and plans, see Part 2, Division 4 and section 42 Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983. Approved determination of Native Title is required. Any dealing or plan must also be accompanied by a Registration Approval Certificate or statement of-non requirement."
