Illustration for Land Transfer Act 2017

The Registrar can create a record of title from the information in the register. You can get a record of title for different types of estates, such as freehold or leasehold estates, and stratum estates under the Unit Titles Act 2010. A record of title must have certain information, including a unique identifier and the name of the registered owner. The record of title must also have a description of the land and the type of estate or interest in the land. You will also find references to any instruments or matters that created the estate or interest, and any record of title or document of title it comes from. The Registrar can create a composite record of title for some or all of the estates or interests. A record of title is part of the register. The Registrar can include other information in the record of title if it is necessary to give effect to this Act or any other enactment. You can find more information about records of title in the register.
