VPRS 15367 Mining Registrar's Index to Residence Areas, Rushworth Mining Division

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". This series is an index to the register kept of residence areas and their holders at Rushworth. Details given are the name of the person, the location and the page number in the Register of Residence Areas. There is no indication of the date. 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. As the date range of this series could not be established from the available record, a date range has been determined utilising the existence of the central agencies responsible for the mining function until 1935. This series was previously registered as Unit 2 of VPRS 704/P Registers [Rushworth District Land Office].

1935年前，持有矿工权利者根据《矿业法》（Mines Act）享有的特权之一，是可在金矿区拥有至多一英亩的居住用地。居住区域的占用者“在法律上被视为拥有……该等……地块……及其上财产”。

本系列是拉什沃思（Rushworth）地区居住区域及其持有者登记册的索引。所提供的细节包括个人姓名、位置及《居住区域登记册》中的页码，无日期信息。

1935年《1935年土地（居住区域）法》（Land (Residence Areas) Act 1935）通过后，居住区域占用权扩展至所有王室土地（Crown lands），并由《土地法》而非《矿业法》管辖。

由于无法从现有记录确定本系列的日期范围，故利用1935年前负责矿业职能的中央机构存在情况来确定其日期范围。本系列此前被登记为VPRS 704/P登记册[拉什沃思地区土地局]的第2单元。
