Illustration for Land Transfer Act 2017

The Registrar has to keep a register of land that is subject to the Land Transfer Act 2017. You can think of the register like a big book that stores information about land. The Registrar gets to decide how the register is kept, as long as it records information and lets people access that information easily. The register can be kept in different ways, such as using a computer system to record information electronically. This means the information can be stored on a computer and retrieved when needed. The Registrar's job is to make sure the register is kept in a way that works well and is easy to use, so you can find the information you need about land.
