Land was to be disposed of on lease in perpetuity or on small grazing run lease with rents fixed at 5 per cent of the capital value of the land which had to be sufficient to cover cost of acquisition, survey, roading, subdivision, areas absorbed by roads and reserves, and an allowance for administration.
Land ballots were conducted in the locality of the subdivision and were generally followed a few days later by clearing sales on the property at which the new settlers bought stock and plant from the former owners.
