As a result of these reports, and a rumour in <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a> that the <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">French</a> were about to establish a penal colony in the western part of Australia, possibly at <a href="/wiki/Shark_Bay" title="Shark Bay">Shark Bay</a>, the Colonial Office assented to the proposal in mid-October 1828. </p><p>In December 1828, a Secretary of State for Colonies despatch reserved land for the Crown, as well as for the clergy, and for education, and specified that water frontage was to be rationed. The most cursory exploration had preceded the British decision to found a settlement at the Swan River; the most makeshift arrangements were to govern its initial establishment and the granting of land; and the most sketchy surveys were to be made before the grants were actually occupied. A set of regulations were worked out for distributing land to settlers based on <a href="/wiki/Land_grants_in_the_Swan_River_Colony" title="Land grants in the Swan River Colony">land grants</a>. Negotiations for a privately run settlement were also started with a consortium of four gentlemen headed by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Potter_McQueen&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Potter McQueen (page does not exist)">Potter McQueen</a>, a member of Parliament who had already acquired a large tract of land in <a href="/wiki/New_South_Wales" title="New South Wales">New South Wales</a>. The consortium withdrew after the Colonial Office refused to give it preference over independent settlers in selecting land, but one member, <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Peel" title="Thomas Peel">Thomas Peel</a>, accepted the terms and proceeded alone. Peel was allocated 200,000 hectares (500,000 acres), conditional on his arrival at the settlement before 1 November 1829 with 400 settlers.
