Lands marked out and defined under subsection (1) of section 19 must be: (a) declared by the Minister by Notice in the Gazette to be vacant lands under the control of the Board; and (b) dealt with in all respects as native lands. Income arising from vacant lands vested in the Board under this section, must be paid to the Central Fijian Treasury and used exclusively for the benefit of Fijians in a manner and for purposes approved by the Minister on the advice of the Great Council of Chiefs. The transitional provisions contained in sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the Native Land Trust Act (Amendment) Decree 2000 apply to vacant lands which are deemed to be native lands by virtue of this section as amended by the Native Lands Act (Amendment) Decree 2000 as they apply to land of extinct mataqali under that Decree.
