159A Provisions for decision about most appropriate form of tenure

(1) In deciding, under section 159 (1) (j) , whether a new lease is the most appropriate form of tenure for the lease land, section 16 applies—

(b) with other necessary changes.

(2) If the lease is over a reserve, the chief executive must, before making the decision, consult with the trustee for the reserve.

(3) If the decision in relation to a renewal application is that another form of tenure is a more appropriate form of tenure than a new lease, the chief executive may elect to treat the application as a conversion application for the other form of tenure.

(4) On the making of an election under subsection (3) —

(a) the renewal application is taken to be a conversion application for the other form of tenure; and

(b) division 3 applies to the conversion application.

(5) Subsections (3) and (4) apply despite any provision contained in the lease.
