Full description

This series consists of returns giving details of the transfer of residence area rights or their cancellation. Details given are the name of the person transferring the right, the name and address of the person to whom it was transferred, the parish or township, a description of the land, the date and the right number.

One of the privileges under the Mines Act, conferred by the holding of a miner's right until 1935 was that of residence on up to one acre on a gold-fields area. Those occupying a residence area were "deemed in law to be possessed ... of such ... parcels ... and the property therein".

From 1935, with the passing of the Land (Residence Areas) Act 1935 the right of occupation of residence areas was broadened to all Crown lands and placed under the Land Act rather than the Mines Act.
