VPRS 15621 Mining Registrar's Register of Residence Areas, Taradale 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". Details given are the registration number and date, the name of the person, the number of the miner's right and its date, a description of the allotment and any remarks or references to other volumes. Any changes of ownership are shown. The areas referred to are those in the Taradale area close to Castlemaine. 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. This series was previously registered as Unit 1 of VPRS 6967/P2 Mining Registrar's Registers of Claims and Residence Areas, Taradale Mining Division.

1935年之前，依据《矿业法（Mines Act）》，持有矿工权利（miner's right）可享有的一项特权，是可在金矿区范围内占用至多1英亩土地用于居住。居住于该居住区域者，在法律上被视为拥有该地块及其地上物产。本数据集所登记的信息包括注册号与登记日期、权利人姓名、矿工权利证书编号及发证日期、分配地块的详细描述，以及相关备注或其他卷宗的援引内容，同时记录所有权变更情况。本数据集涉及的区域为毗邻卡斯尔梅恩（Castlemaine）的塔拉代尔（Taradale）矿区。
1935年，随着《1935年土地（居住区域）法（Land (Residence Areas) Act 1935）》的颁布，居住区域占用权被拓展至全部王室土地（Crown lands），并改由《土地法（Land Act）》管辖，不再适用《矿业法》。
该数据集系列此前被登记为VPRS 6967/P2《塔拉代尔矿业分区矿业登记官索偿与居住区域登记册》第1单元。
