You could also call this:

"Stopping changes to some land titles if you live or own nearby land"

Illustration for Land Transfer Act 2017

You can lodge a caveat against a limited record of title that is limited as to parcels if you are an occupier of the land or an owner or occupier of adjoining land. You need to execute a caveat document or have your agent do it for you. The document must contain the prescribed information. You should look at sections 139, 142 to 144, and 146 to 148 to see how they apply to the caveat. The caveat does not stop registration or notation of an instrument affecting the land recorded in a limited record of title to the extent that it is limited as to title. You can compare this to s 205 for more information.
