5—Establishment of trust

        (1)         If the Minister decides to grant an application for the establishment of an irrigation trust, the Minister will establish the trust by notice in the Gazette.

        (2)         The notice must specify—

            (a)         the date on which the trust is established; and

            (b)         the name of the trust (which must be a distinctive name approved by the Minister as part of the application process under this Act).

        (3)         An irrigation trust established under this section—

            (a)         is a body corporate; and

            (b)         has perpetual succession and a common seal; and

            (c)         can sue and be sued in its corporate name; and

            (d)         has the functions and powers assigned or conferred by or under this Act or any other Act.

        (4)         If—

            (a)         an application for the establishment of an irrigation trust

                  (i)         identifies real or personal property that is to vest in the trust on its incorporation under this Act; and

                  (ii)         verifies in the prescribed manner and form that any person who has a prescribed interest in that property consents to the vesting; and

            (b)         the Minister identifies that property as being property to which this subsection applies in the notice establishing the trust,

that property will, on incorporation, be vested in and held by the irrigation trust (subject to any trusts that may affect that property).

        (5)         The Registrar-General must—

            (a)         on the application of an irrigation trust in which any estate or interest in land has vested under subsection (4); and

            (b)         on production of such duplicate instruments of title and other documents as the Registrar-General may require,

register the vesting of that estate or interest in land in the trust.
