Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts Be it therefore
enacted by His Excellency the Governor of Western Australia, by and with the
advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, that immediately after
the passing of this Act it shall be lawful for the Governor to direct an
authorised land officer at his earliest convenience to cause a survey to be
made of every town laid out by the Government of this Colony as nearly as
possible in accordance with the survey originally made of such town, except in
any case where a deviation therefrom may have been previously directed and
sanctioned by any Governor of this Colony, or may during the progress of such
survey be found necessary for the rectification of any street so as not to
interfere with any substantial brick or stone building already erected, and
which deviation may be sanctioned by the Governor in Executive Council, in
which case the survey is to be made in accordance with such sanctioned
alteration, which the Governor is hereby authorised to make: Provided
nevertheless that no such alteration shall be so made as to lessen the
quantity of land contained in any allotment granted in fee-simple by the Crown
without compensation being given for the portion so taken away.
