Rents are payable half-yearly, on the first days of January and July in each year.

No rent need be paid for the first two years. The unpaid rent will, however, be added to the capital value, and rent then paid on such increased value, or the arrears of rent can be paid off at any time.

A fee of 10s. will be charged for registration of lease.

A sum of £10 will be advanced by the Government for building a house, which must be finished in six months after selection, and residence on the land is thereafter compulsory.

On bush-lands felling must begin at once.

Each settler shall within two years cultivate one acre, and within four years the half of the remainder, of his selection, and make substantial improvements.

Substantial improvements shall mean—
(1.) Fencing the land with timber or other durable materials, not being a brush fence; or
(2.) Breaking up and laying down the same in English or other cultivated grass; or
(3.) Breaking up and planting or sowing root or other crops therein; and, in case of bush-lands, the felling and clearing of timber and sowing of grass.

Any person who has an interest in any land of more than an acre in extent in the colony is not eligible to select.

No person can hold more than one section.

Married men will have preference as selectors.

No married women are eligible as selectors.

Settlers cannot subdivide or sublet their holdings without consent.

Application forms can be obtained at any Land Office, and must be either lodged personally or sent through the post to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, Dunedin.
