Land Leases (Amendment) Act, 2003 (No. 24 of 2003).

“Director” now means the Director of the department responsible for land" (sect. 1). Section 3, here repealed, concerned the appointment of the Director of Land Records. Consequentially, a reference in any other Act or instrument to the Director of Lands Records shall be to be a reference to the Director of the department responsible for land. The new section 32B empowers the Minister to extend the term of a lease of public land that is less than 75 years to 75 years, subject to fulfilment of certain conditions. Section 32C provides that a lessee of a lease of public land that has a term of 75 years may apply for a renewal of the lease. The Minister may renew a lease for a term not exceeding 75 years if the Minister is satisfied that the lessee has complied with all the conditions of the lease.
