(2) If authorisation to complete was not required
The following provisions apply if the completion of the uncompleted function
would not have required the granting of authorisation by the Minister under
the repealed Act or repealed statutory rule:
(a) the person who began to exercise the function (or the person's successor
if abolished) may complete the uncompleted function in accordance
with the repealed Act or repealed statutory rule,
(b) anything that results from the completed function is taken to have the
same effect that it would have had if the repealed Act or repealed
statutory rule had not been repealed.
Note. For example, this subclause would cover situations where an expression of
interest or tender for a lease under a repealed Act was issued by a reserve trust
managed by a local council before the repeal day for a term that exceeds the maximum
term for a lease that a local council can grant as a Crown land manager under this Act.
Division 3.4 generally requires local councils that are Crown land managers of
dedicated or reserved Crown land to manage their land as community land under the
Local Government Act 1993, including in relation to the granting of leases. Section 46
of the Local Government Act 1993 provides that a lease over community land cannot
exceed 30 years.
(3) If authorisation to complete would have been required
The following provisions apply if the completion of the uncompleted function
would have required the granting of authorisation by the Minister under the
repealed Act or repealed statutory rule:
(a) the Minister may grant the authorisation in the same way as the Minister
could under the repealed Act or repealed statutory rule if satisfied that
it will enable an agreement, undertaking, commitment or other
arrangement entered into or given in good faith before the repeal day
Page 14
Crown Land Legislation Amendment Bill 2017 [NSW]
Schedule 1 Amendment of Crown Land Management Act 2016 No 58
(whether by the Minister or another person or body authorised to
exercise the function) to be completed,
(b) the person who began to exercise the function (or the person's successor
if abolished) may complete the uncompleted function in accordance
with the authorisation and the repealed Act or repealed statutory rule,
(c) anything that results from the completed function is taken to have the
same effect that it would have had if the repealed Act or repealed
statutory rule had not been repealed.
(4) Effect of previous authorisation
Without limiting subclause (3), the following provisions apply if the Minister
had previously granted authorisation for the exercise of the uncompleted
function under the repealed Act or repealed statutory rule:
(a) the Minister may vary or revoke the authorisation in the same way as
the Minister could under the repealed Act or repealed statutory rule,
(b) the person who began to exercise the function (or the person's successor
if abolished) may complete the uncompleted function in accordance
with the previous authorisation (as varied) and the repealed Act or
repealed statutory rule,
(c) anything that results from the completed function is taken to have the
same effect that it would have had if the repealed Act or repealed
statutory rule had not been repealed.
(5) Relationship with this Act and Local Government Act 1993
Subject to the regulations, this clause has effect despite anything to the
contrary in this Act or the Local Government Act 1993 (including in respect of
maximum terms for leases, licences or permits).

prevent it from being managed under Part 3 of this Act,
(b) subject to the regulations, Part 3 of this Act applies to the land in the
same way as Part 3 applies to reserved Crown land for which a Crown
land manager has been appointed.
Note. For example, a reserve trust may have acquired land under section 101 of the
Crown Lands Act 1989 that was not reserved or dedicated under that Act after its
acquisition.

(2) Subclause (1) ceases to apply in relation to the land if:
(a) the land becomes dedicated or reserved Crown land, or
(b) the land ceases to have a Crown land manager, or
(c) the land is sold.
(3) The Crown land manager must, as soon as practicable after the repeal day, give
written notice to the Minister that the land is not dedicated or reserved Crown
land.

concerning purposes for which the land could be dedicated or reserved.

3.6 of this Act.
(3) However, a plan of management in force under Division 6 of Part 5 of the
Crown Lands Act 1989 for former reserve land does not continue in force
under this Act if clause 11 operates to appoint a council manager as the Crown
land manager of the land.

authorisation of the successor body for the abolished body (the transferred
regulatory authorisation) on the repeal day for the purposes of the Act or
statutory rule (the relevant State legislation) under which the existing
regulatory authorisation was issued.
(3) The provisions of the relevant State legislation apply in relation to a successor
body in relation to a transferred regulatory authorisation subject to any
