There are two things there. Firstly, you talk about areas used by communities. I presume that does not extend outside the definition of the area of each community which follows in this act to beyond what is defined as the areas that the government is assuming control of. Secondly, it says a building or a sacred site but it does not talk about land, so it means that common land is the backyard, the front yard and the side yard of dwellings, does it?
