15 South Bank Corporation Amendment ‘(5) The plan must— (a) show, distinctly delineated, all roads dedicated to public use; and (b) show each of the parcels into which the land is divided by the plan, with each parcel— (i) distinctly delineated; and (ii) marked with a separate number or symbol; and (c) be certified as accurate by a licensed surveyor within the meaning of the Surveyors Act 1977 ; and (d) for the purposes of the Real Property Act 1861 , be certified by the owner as being correct for registration as an instrument. ‘(6) If the Registrar of Titles is satisfied that the plan is correct, the Registrar of Titles is to record the plan in the register kept under the Real Property Act 1861 . ‘(7) After the plan is recorded, the land must not be dealt with under that Act otherwise than in accordance with the plan. ‘(8) Subject to subsection (9), the Registrar of Titles is to record in the register particulars of any dedication to public use of land under this section. ‘(9) Any dedication of land must be of all of the estate or interest of the owner in the land. ‘(10) Land dedicated to public use vests in the Crown. ‘(11) If land under the Real Property Act 1861 is the subject of a plan under this section, the owner of the land must, immediately after the plan has been registered, apply to take out and receive, in the owner’s own name, a certificate or certificates of title in relation to the land. ‘(12) On receiving an application under subsection (11), the Registrar of Titles may issue to the applicant a certificate or certificates of title, each containing such number of parcels as the Registrar of Titles considers appropriate for the orderly registration of dealings with the parcels. ‘(13) Land may be subdivided only if— (a) each proposed lot in the proposed subdivision has access; and (b) the appropriate authority has approved the subdivision.
16 South Bank Corporation Amendment ‘(14) Land may be amalgamated and a road may be opened, only with the approval of the appropriate authority. ‘(15) When giving its approval to a dealing under this section, the appropriate authority must endorse the approval on the plan. ‘(16) Despite the LocalGovernment(PlanningandEnvironment)Act1990 , a lease or sublease of land in the Parkland Precinct, which would otherwise be a subdivision referred to in section 1.4 of the LocalGovernment(PlanningandEnvironment)Act1990 , is not a subdivision within the meaning of that Act. ‘(17) A lease or sublease of land within the Parkland Precinct, which would otherwise be a subdivision referred to in section 1.4 of the LocalGovernment (Planning and Environment) Act 1990 , may be granted only if the appropriate authority is satisfied that the area the subject of the lease has access. ‘(18) Subject to subsection (19) and except where a contrary intention appears in this Act, the Local Government (Planning and Environment) Act1990 (as modified by this Act) and the Town Plan do not apply before the development completion date to the subdivision and amalgamation of land and the opening of roads within the Corporation Area. ‘(19) For the purposes of subsections (13) and (17), the Council, in considering whether there is access, must apply the meanings given to “access” , “lot” and “road” in subsection (1) instead of the definitions “access” , “allotment” and “road” in section 1.4 of the Local Government(Planning and Environment) Act 1990 . ’. Insertion of new ss. 25A to 25G 18. After section 25— insert ‘Stratum lots and dealings with stratum lots ‘25A.(1) Despite the Real Property Acts or any other Act— (a) South Bank public land may be subdivided by a stratum plan; and (b) South Bank public land may be opened as a road by a stratum
17 South Bank Corporation Amendment plan; and (c) a stratum lot may be subdivided by a stratum plan of subdivision; and (d) minor adjustments may be made to the boundaries of stratum lots by a boundary adjustment plan; and (e) stratum lots may be amalgamated by a stratum plan of amalgamation; under this section only if the appropriate authority approves. ‘(2) The Real Property Acts apply to stratum lots in the same way as they apply to other land except to the extent that they are inconsistent with this Act or incapable of applying. ‘(3) An adjustment that, in the opinion of the appropriate authority, is a minor adjustment may be made to the boundaries of stratum lots by the registration of a boundary adjustment plan. ‘(4) A boundary adjustment plan registered under this section— (a) operates, without any further assurance, to vest the land in accordance with the adjusted boundaries; and (b) does not of itself give rise to any liability for stamp duty. ‘(5) A registered mortgage, lease or other registered estate in a stratum lot adjusted by the registration of a boundary adjustment plan is not affected by the registration of that plan and is taken to relate to the adjusted stratum lot. ‘(6) A stratum lot may be subdivided into 2 or more stratum lots by the registration of a stratum plan of subdivision. ‘(7) The Registrar of Titles may register a stratum plan of subdivision only if the stratum plan of subdivision is accompanied by a schedule showing, as a whole number for each proposed stratum lot, the proposed unimproved value proportion for each stratum lot for the purposes of section 39C and clause 2(1)(p) of Schedule 6. ‘(8) When registering a stratum plan of subdivision, the Registrar of Titles may make any recordings on and amendments to the management statement to which the stratum plan relates, that the Registrar of Titles considers appropriate to give effect to the stratum plan.
18 South Bank Corporation Amendment ‘(9) Subject to subsection (12), 2 or more, or all, stratum lots in a stratum plan may be amalgamated by the registration of a stratum plan of amalgamation. ‘(10) When registering a stratum plan of amalgamation, the Registrar of Titles may make any recordings on and amendments to the management statement to which the stratum plan relates that the Registrar of Titles considers appropriate to give effect to the stratum plan. ‘(11) For the purposes of section 39C and clause 2(1)(p) of Schedule 6, the relevant unimproved value proportion for the stratum lot created by the amalgamation of 2 or more stratum lots is the sum of the unimproved value proportions of the stratum lots. ‘(12) A stratum lot that has been subdivided by a leasehold building units plan may be amalgamated with another stratum lot only if the leasehold building units plan has been terminated under Schedule 7. ‘(13) On registration of a stratum plan of amalgamation that amalgamates all of the stratum lots in a stratum plan— (a) the stratum plan; and (b) the management statement that relates to the stratum plan; are extinguished. ‘(14) A request to terminate a management statement must comply with the requirements prescribed by the regulations. ‘(15) If a stratum plan of amalgamation is accompanied by a request to terminate a management statement, the Registrar of Titles— (a) must record the termination of the management statement on the stratum plan to which it relates; and (b) may make such other recordings in the register as the Registrar of Titles considers appropriate to give effect to the termination of the management statement. ‘(16) Stratum plans, boundary adjustment plans, stratum plans of subdivision and stratum plans of amalgamation must comply with the requirements prescribed by the regulations.
