Land Transfer Act 2017

Land title and registration - Land title register - Records of title

13: Registrar may issue amalgamated or separate records of title

You could also call this:

"The Registrar can combine or separate land records for you."

Illustration for Land Transfer Act 2017

You can ask the Registrar to create a single record of title for multiple parcels of land. The Registrar can do this if you own the land and it is recorded in two or more records of title. You can also ask the Registrar to create separate records of title for parcels of land that are currently recorded together. You can make this request if you own two or more parcels of land that are recorded in one record of title. The Registrar can then create two or more records of title, each recording part of the land. This is similar to what was allowed under s 86.
