These Regulations implement the Crown Lands Act by further making provision for leases of crown lands and licences for activities to be carried on such lands. Provisions of Part 2 define which lands are available for leases, regulate commencement, execution, and surrender of leases and payment for improvements on land. Various provisions of Part 3 are concerned with licences for grazing of livestock, occupation licences and licences for miscellaneous nature. "Occupation licence" means a licence under section 90 of the Act.

Subject to this Part and to any provision to the contrary in a law of the Territory, a person shall not enter onto or remain on Aboriginal land or use a road unless he has been issued with a permit to do so in accordance with this Part (sect. 4). An Aboriginal who is entitled by Aboriginal tradition to enter onto an area of Aboriginal land may enter onto that area of Aboriginal land. An Aboriginal who is entitled by Aboriginal tradition to remain on an area of Aboriginal land may remain on that area of Aboriginal land.

The Act, consisting of 96 sections divided into eleven Parts and completed by two Schedules, makes provision for the procedures of acquisition of land by the Territory and the establishment of the Lands Acquisition Tribunal and regulates the proceedings of the Tribunal.
