Clause 5 sets out the consequences of the revocation directed in clauses 3 and 4, which are to return the land to its original status as unalienated Crown land and revoke any regulations and the appointment of any committee of management in respect of the land. In relation to Crown Allotment 2008, the RWH has consented to the discharge of its interest as trustee of the affected land. In relation to Crown Allotment 2007, the only interest potentially affected by this clause of the Bill is a lease held by Dental Health Services Victoria. Clause 6 preserves the continuing existence and operation of an existing 99 year lease under section 137AA(4) of the Land Act 1958 entered into between the Minister for Planning and Dental Health Services Victoria (ABN 55264981997). The lease relates in part to the land in Crown Allotment 2007. Clause 6 is necessary to ensure that the lease is not extinguished by clause 5. Clause 7 requires the Registrar of Titles to make any recordings in or amendments to the Register kept under the Transfer of Land Act 1958 necessary to give operation to Part 2 of the Bill.
