NRS-19128 | Register of returned soldiers group purchases [Tumbarumba Lands Office]

This register contains a summary record of all returned soldiers group purchases in the Land District of Tumbarumba, kept by the Tumbarumba Lands Office.This tenure was introduced in 1917 by the Returned Soldiers Settlement (Amendment) Act 1917 (Act No.24, 1917) for settlement groups of returned soldiers, under the Returned Soldiers Settlement Act, 1916 (Act No.21, 1916). It was a tenure by which a Crown grant was obtained after all conditions, including payment of purchase money, have been fulfilled. The settler was required to reside on the holding for the first five years, and to fence the external boundaries in the first three years. In 1943 legislation was passed enabling soldier’s group purchases to be converted in to group purchase leases (leases in perpetuity).The register records information such as the number of the application, the name and address of the applicant, date of application and time of receipt, description of the land, and the purpose for which the land is required. Also a deposit and survey fee, the annual rent and the gazetted number of the lease.

本登记册由坦巴拉姆巴（Tumbarumba）土地办公室保管，收录了该土地管辖区内所有退役军人集体购地的汇总档案。该土地保有制度由1917年《退役军人安置（修订）法案》（1917年第24号法案）引入，旨在依据1916年《退役军人安置法案》（1916年第21号法案）为退役军人安置群体提供支持。该保有制度要求申请人在满足包括缴纳购地款在内的全部条件后，方可获得王室授地（Crown grant）。安置对象需在购地后的前五年内在该地块居住，并于前三年内完成地块外围边界的围栏修建工作。1943年出台的立法允许将退役军人集体购地转为集体购地永久租赁权（leases in perpetuity）。本登记册记录的信息包括：申请编号、申请人姓名与地址、申请日期及收件时间、地块详情、地块申请用途，此外还涵盖定金与勘测费、年租金，以及租赁协议的宪报编号（gazetted number）。
