82: Registrar-General of Land may require preparation of plan

You could also call this:

“The land office person can ask for a special map to be made if they need to combine different pieces of land.”

The Registrar-General of Land might ask for a special plan to be made if they get a certificate mentioned in section 77 but think it’s not easy or good to record it on the property records talked about in section 78. This plan needs to be submitted under the Land Transfer Act 2017. The Registrar-General might also ask for one or more new property records to be made based on this plan.

The plan we’re talking about here is a special kind of plan. It’s made following the rules in section 224 of the Land Transfer Act 2017. This plan combines all the pieces of land either into one big piece or, if it makes more sense, into two or more pieces.
