Section 4: Lotting of large land holding
Having put in place pre-notification requirements for community bodies to receive advance notice in certain cases that the owner intends to transfer a large land holding, or part of it, and provide an opportunity for community bodies in the area to purchase land, this section introduces a "transfer test" at the point of certain transfers of all or part of a large land holding (if the land to be transferred is over 1,000ha), to determine if the owner should be required to transfer the land in smaller parts; known as "lotting".
