(1) On the publication in the
Gazette of an agreement in accordance with section 12AA or the coming into effect of an order under section 12AB, not being an agreement or order relating to a deed of grant that has been registered in accordance with subsection 12(5), the land the subject of the agreement or order shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be, and always to have been, land coming within the terms of the exclusion set out, in accordance with subsection 12(3A), in the deed of grant to which the agreement or order relates.(2) Where an agreement under section 12AA that has been published in the
Gazette or an order under section 12AB that has come into effect relates to a deed of grant that has been registered in accordance with subsection 12(5), a party to the agreement or the person who obtained the order may lodge the agreement or order, as the case may be, with the Registrar‑General or other appropriate officer under the law of the Northern Territory relating to the transfer of land, and, on that lodgement, the Registrar‑General or other appropriate officer shall:

(3) Compensation under this section is not payable in respect of improvements that are not authorised under the
Crown Lands Ordinance 1931 of the Northern Territory, as amended and in force from time to time.(4) The amount of compensation payable to a person under this section shall be such reasonable amount of compensation as is, subject to the operation of subsections (2) and (3), agreed between the Commonwealth and that person or, failing agreement, as is determined by the Federal Court of Australia.

(2) An agreement determined by the Arbitrator under subsection (1) shall not include a term or condition (whether in the agreement or in a lease the terms and conditions of which are set out in the agreement) that:
(a) requires the Land Council or Land Trust concerned to take any action that it is not authorized to take by, or under, this Act or any other Act or by, or under, a law of the Northern Territory; or
