Carter & Son. The land formed part of Crown Portion 6 in the Parish of Ringwood and was held under Certificate of Title Volume 6280, Folio 1255979. A formal Contract of Sale was prepared using the standard Real Estate & Stock Institute of Victoria form. It set out the property description, the price, the deposit, and the condition that the balance of the purchase money would be paid within 14 days of receiving required government consent, which was mandatory under wartime National Security Regulations. The contract was signed in triplicate by the vendor but later marked “Cancelled.” Included with the contract was the National Security (Economic Organisation) Regulations – Form 7, completed by the purchaser, Jane Franzke. In this form she stated that she wished to buy the land to build a home, confirmed that the land was vacant, and declared that she and her husband owned other property. She also confirmed that no related or contingent transactions existed and that the purchase price involved no furniture, livestock, plant, or fittings. She signed the statutory declaration on 16 August 1947. Alongside these documents was a letter dated 29 August 1947 from C.E. Carter & Son to Mrs. Franzke. The agent enclosed a cheque for the £5 deposit, stating it was being returned “as arranged,” and asked her to return the original receipt. This letter indicates that the sale did not proceed, consistent with the contract copies being marked “Cancelled.” Overall, the documents show that a 1947 land sale was initiated, formally documented, submitted for government approval, and then abandoned, with the deposit refunded to the purchaser."
