Land Act 1994

If a person lodges a document transferring or creating an interest in land under this Act, the registrar of titles must register the document if—

the document has been correctly executed; and

the person lodges the document and all other documents needed by the registrar to effect registration of the document; and

the document appears on its face to be capable of registration; and

the person has otherwise complied with this Act for the registration of the document; and

the document is not inconsistent with another Act or law; and

if the document is a plan of survey—it is not inconsistent with another plan of survey.

If the document is a plan of survey and it is inconsistent with another plan of survey, the registrar of titles may—

give a notice to a person holding an interest in a lot that may be affected by registration of the plan of survey; or

require the person who lodged the document to give a notice, in the way the registrar requires, to a person mentioned in paragraph (a).

However, subsection (1) does not prevent the person from withdrawing the document before it is registered.
