"What happens when an access arrangement is made for land"

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you want to access some land, an access arrangement might be made by an arbitrator. This arrangement takes effect when all parties get a copy and you follow the rules in section 83, if that applies to you. The arrangement is like a formal agreement that all parties have signed.

The arrangement is very powerful, it is as if all parties had signed a special document. It also affects the land itself, not just the people involved now. This means that even if the land is sold, the arrangement still applies to the new owners.
