Crown Minerals Act 1991

Permits, access to land, and other matters - Permits, access to land, and title notations - Notation on land titles

84: Entry of permit and access particulars acts as notice only

You could also call this:

"Noting a permit on a property record just gives information, it doesn't give rights."

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

When a permit or access arrangement is noted on a record of title, it only serves as notice that the permit or access arrangement exists. This notation does not create any estate or interest under the Land Transfer Act 2017. You should be aware that this rule applies to permits granted before 21 August 2003.

The notation by the Registrar-General of Land is simply a way to inform people about the permit or access arrangement. It does not give anyone any rights or ownership under the Land Transfer Act 2017. If a permit was granted after 21 August 2003, this section does not apply to it.

This means that if you are looking at a record of title, you will see the notation, but it is only telling you that a permit or access arrangement is in place. You can find more information about the Land Transfer Act 2017 by following the link.
