Closer Settlement Acts

Summary

The Closer Settlement Acts (NSW) were introduced by the New South Wales parliament between 1901 and 1909 to reform land holdings and in particular to break the squatters' domination of land tenure.

The Acts included the Closer Settlement Acts of 1901 and 1904, and the Closer Settlement (Amendment) Acts of 1906 and 1907
