Land Title Act 1994

On registration of the instrument creating an easement, the easement is created and, without anything further, vests in the person entitled to the benefit of it.

If the easement is in favour of a public utility provider and is not a public thoroughfare easement, the registered owner of a lot burdened by the easement may recover from the public utility provider a reasonable contribution towards the cost of keeping the part of the lot affected by the easement in a condition appropriate for enjoyment of the easement.

The liability to contribute may be amended or excluded by agreement.
