Shape and frontage of land

Except when specially ordered by the Minister land will only be sold or leased in parcels of rectangular shape, the lines running according to the cardinal points of the compass or as near thereto as natural boundaries will permit. The frontage on any road, river, stream, lake, sea coast or public reserve shall not exceed one fourth of the total length of the external boundaries of any parcel, except in special cases where natural or other boundaries intervene to prevent such frontage being accurately observed. __________
