Reserves Act 1977

Administration

5A: Director-General to administer special leases and grazing permits over certain reserves

You could also call this:

"The Director-General looks after special leases and grazing permits on some reserves."

The Director-General is in charge of special leases and grazing permits on certain reserves. You can find out what these terms mean by looking at section 2 of the Crown Pastoral Land Act 1998. The Director-General will follow the rules in the Land Act 1948, like sections 18, 50A to 50F, and section 65, when dealing with these leases and permits. The rules from the Land Act 1948 will apply to special leases and grazing permits as if the Director-General were the Commissioner of Crown Lands. You can read about the Land Act 1948 rules that apply, including sections 56, 60, and 60B, to understand how the Director-General will administer these leases and permits.
