An Act to make provision with respect to certain Crown Grants of Lands in the Parish of Lyndhurst and for other purposes.

Preamble

WHEREAS certain lands of the Crown (hereinafter called the "alienated lands") in the Parish of Lyndhurst were granted in fee simple in the years of 1865 and 1866:

AND WHEREAS the alienated lands were described in the relevant Crown grants as being bounded on the east or north-east (as the case may be) by a road (now known as Nepean Highway) and on the west or south-west (as the case may be) by a reserve 100 feet wide on the east side of Port Phillip Bay (hereinafter called the "foreshore reserve"):

AND WHEREAS it appears that the position of the foreshore reserve was determined by reference to the high water mark of Port Phillip Bay at the time of the relevant Crown grants:

AND WHEREAS by Order in Council dated 12 November 1872, the foreshore reserve was permanently reserved for public purposes:

AND WHEREAS the alienated lands have been subdivided and re-subdivided into smaller allotments:

AND WHEREAS it appears from the dimensions shown in the certificates of title to certain allotments created by subdivision or re-subdivision of the alienated lands that the certificates of title and the plans of subdivision on which they were based were prepared on the view that the location of the foreshore reserve was required to be determined by reference to the high water mark of Port Phillip Bay at the time of any relevant subdivision or re‑subdivision:

AND WHEREAS the high water mark of Port Phillip Bay has generally been receding along the material portion of its shore:

AND WHEREAS in reliance upon the dimensions shown in certificates of title of the alienated lands portions of the foreshore reserve are occupied by the registered proprietors of adjoining lands:

AND WHEREAS it is expedient to provide that the alienated lands shall be deemed always to have included the lands occupied in reliance upon dimensions shown in certificates of title issued in respect of portions thereof:

INTERPRETATION OF LEGISLATION ACT 1984 (ILA)

Style changes

Section 54A of the ILA authorises the making of the style changes set out in Schedule 1 to that Act.

References to ILA s. 39B

Sidenotes which cite ILA s. 39B refer to section 39B of the ILA which provides that where an undivided section or clause of a Schedule is amended by the insertion of one or more subsections or subclauses, the original section or clause becomes subsection or subclause (1) and is amended by the insertion of the expression "(1)" at the beginning of the original section or clause.

Interpretation

As from 1 January 2001, amendments to section 36 of the ILA have the following effects:

•     Headings

All headings included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Act.  Any heading inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Act.  This includes headings to Parts, Divisions or Subdivisions in a Schedule; sections; clauses; items; tables; columns; examples; diagrams; notes or forms.  See section 36(1A)(2A).

•     Examples, diagrams or notes

All examples, diagrams or notes included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Act.  Any examples, diagrams or notes inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, form part of that Act.  See section 36(3A).

•     Punctuation

All punctuation included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 forms part of that Act.  Any punctuation inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Act.  See section 36(3B).

•     Provision numbers

All provision numbers included in an Act form part of that Act, whether inserted in the Act before, on or after 1 January 2001.  Provision numbers include section numbers, subsection numbers, paragraphs and subparagraphs.  See section 36(3C).

•     Location of "legislative items"

A "legislative item" is a penalty, an example or a note.  As from 13 October 2004, a legislative item relating to a provision of an Act is taken to be at the foot of that provision even if it is preceded or followed by another legislative item that relates to that provision.  For example, if a penalty at the foot of a provision is followed by a note, both of these legislative items will be regarded as being at the foot of that provision.  See section 36B.

•     Other material

Any explanatory memorandum, table of provisions, endnotes, index and other material printed after the Endnotes does not form part of an Act. 
See section 36(3)(3D)(3E).
