Land Registry Services new processes.

Restrictions imposed in response to COVID-19 have made it difficult to prepare, sign and witness paper land dealings. All of these land dealings involve a combination of steps, including:

1. Verification of Identity
2. Establishing the Right to Deal
3. Signing, Witnessing and Formal Certification

In order to maintain business as usual and complete these steps for paper dealings during the current COVID-19 environment, LRS have implemented new processes commencing this week from April 27, 2020.

Sydney has become saturated with apartment blocks and cranes as far as the eye can see.

As such, one of the major issues that owners corporations are facing with these new developments is the use of cranes and airspace.

In the past 2 years, nearly 350 cranes were erected in Sydney with 298 of them used for residential purposes which is a 65 per cent increase in crane usage.

So, how does an owners corporation control the way in which developers use their airspace?

Can an owners corporation stop a developer passing a crane through its airspace?

Neighbouring properties often need temporary or permanent access to a strata scheme in order to develop their land – neighoubouring land access.

The usual scenario is that the neighbour contacts the executive committee or the strata manager, offering a simple form to sign to expedite the process. The neighbour will not voluntarily make any mention of liability, indemnities, compensation or other costs.

Most types of access only require an ordinary resolution at a general meeting. However, the registration of an easement (such as drainage easements, easements for services etc.) requires a special resolution, in accordance with section 26 of the Strata Schemes (Freehold Development) Act 1973.
