District Revenue Officer Check Slip for Trust Land Applications
The supplied text is an official check slip for reviewing a trust’s land application under the land reforms process, but it does not identify the issuing department, order number or issue date. It records the trust’s landholdings, proposed purchases, land use, earlier permissions, possible issues involving sellers, assigned land and poromboke land, and the District Revenue Officer’s recommendation.
What the check slip covers
The District Revenue Officer check slip provides a structured review of a trust’s application involving land. The supplied text does not identify the issuing department, order number or issue date. It is a review format rather than a grant of permission, and the final item calls for a recommendation from the District Revenue Officer on specific points.
Application and trust details
The check slip asks officials to record:
- The dates when the Government received and forwarded the application.
- Whether the application was filed in time.
- The reason for delay if the application was filed late.
- The trust’s registration certificate and registration date.
- The trust’s profile and request.
- The institution run by the trust.
Landholding and purchase details
The District Revenue Officer review must reconcile the trust’s total landholding. It separately identifies:
- The total extent already purchased.
- The total extent proposed to be purchased.
- Details of land sold by the trust after 1.3.72.
- Previous permissions granted by the Government, including the extent involved.
- The extent used within the applicable time limit.
These entries may be relevant to a trust buying or holding land, and to a seller whose land forms part of the trust’s application.
Land status checks
The check slip requires officials to examine whether:
- Sellers to the trust are attracted under the Land Reforms Act.
- Any conditionally assigned land is involved.
- Any poromboke land has been encroached.
- The trust has disturbed public access to nearby poramboke land.
- Alternate arrangements have been made if public access is disturbed.
The source uses both spellings, “poromboke” and “poramboke”.
Use of the land
The trust must provide utilisation details for the current application, including the extent used, the balance remaining for future use and a plan of action for the unused area. A combined, colour washed sketch must identify the used and unused portions.
Who may be affected
The District Revenue Officer check slip is directly relevant to trusts applying in relation to land and to officials examining those applications. Sellers may also be affected because the review asks whether they come under the Land Reforms Act. Public users of nearby poramboke land may be relevant where access could be disturbed.

Common questions
Does this check slip itself grant permission to a trust?
No grant of permission appears in the supplied text. The check slip collects information and ends with the District Revenue Officer’s recommendation on specific points.
What land records must the trust provide?
The check slip asks for reconciled landholding details, land already purchased, land proposed for purchase, utilisation details, previous Government permissions and land sold after 1.3.72.
Does the review check for poramboke land issues?
Yes. It asks whether poromboke land has been encroached, whether public access to nearby poramboke land is disturbed and, if so, what alternate arrangements have been made.
Is a land use sketch required?
Yes. The check slip asks for a combined, colour washed sketch showing the utilised and unutilised areas.
