NRS-18797 | Register of Conditional Leases in the Land District of Young [Goulburn Land Board / Wagga Wagga Land Board]

Full description

This register contains a summary record of all Conditional Leases applied for in the Land District of Young, kept by the Goulburn Local Land Board and later by the Wagga Wagga Local Land Board.

An application for a Conditional Lease would be submitted to the Crown Land Agent at the Young Land Office, together with a deposit. Upon receipt of such an application, the Agent would forward the information to their Local Land Board, where the details of the application would be entered into this register. The entry would be given the same register number as that appointed by the Agent.

Prior to the introduction of this series, the Local Land Board kept two series of registers for Conditional Lease information - one to record applications for leases, and one to record approved leases. The new series of registers were designed to amalgamate the two series, thereby creating greater efficiency in the Land Office.

This register records information such as the names and addresses of the applicant or transferee, the date of application or transfer, a description of the land applied for, the deposit and survey fee required, the portion number, the date of notice in the Gazette, the rent amount required, and whether application confirmed or disallowed.
