New Land Bill Introduced In Legislative Assembly
The new Victorian Land Bill was introduced by Hon J M Grant on Tuesday. It repeals existing acts and omits many provisions on selection by lot and Board of Lands and Works controls. It proposes two parts: alienation and settlement, and occupation by pastoral tenants before alienation. Rental ceases after three years if improvements are made and selectors may buy allotments at £1 per acre in ten yearly installments of 2s per acre without interest.

It sets price at £1 per acre with case based valuation, expands holdings to up to 640 acres, and requires selectors to reside on allotments for three years before rental ends. Pastoral Crown tenants stay in possession until taken up, with rents set by the Board of Land and Works and reviewed after five years. The act would run ten years unless amended.
