Illustration for Land Transfer Act 2017

The Registrar can approve electronic facilities for preparing documents to be lodged under the Land Transfer Act 2017. You need to know that the Registrar will only approve a facility if it meets certain requirements. The Registrar must be satisfied that the facility helps prepare documents correctly and allows them to do their job. The Registrar can stop approving a facility if it does not meet the requirements. You can expect the Registrar to monitor activities in these facilities to detect fraud. The chief executive can provide an electronic workspace facility and set conditions for its use. The chief executive can also audit the facility to ensure it is being used correctly and monitor its activities. In the Land Transfer Act 2017, an electronic workspace facility is one that has been approved by the Registrar. You can compare this to s 22 for more information.
