Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

When you enter into an access arrangement that lasts more than 6 months, you must lodge a notice with the Registrar-General of Land as soon as possible. You need to include a copy of the arrangement and pay any fee prescribed by regulations under the Land Transfer Act 2017.

The copy of the arrangement can leave out any information about money paid or agreed to be paid.

When the Registrar-General of Land gets the notice and fee, they will record it on the relevant record of title if everything is in order.

If an access arrangement expires, you must lodge a notice with the Registrar-General of Land as soon as possible to say that it has expired.

The Registrar-General of Land will then record the expiry on the record of title if everything is in order.
