Additional Information

Add information to LRS


5.1 Open case on the LRS.

5.1.1 Open property section workdesk.


5.2 Complete the property section header information.

5.2.1 Select from the picklist to add the type of real right being registered to the Real Right field:

  • Ownership
  • Tenancy.

5.2.2 Add the hectarage of the plot to the Hectarage field if it is 0.5 hectares or greater than 0.5 hectares, rounding the number up or down to one decimal place.

  • Hectarage should not be added to a lease title sheet, only to an ownership title sheet.


Do not enter anything in the Map Ref field in the property section workdesk.


5.3 Complete the property description in the property section.

5.3.1 Check that the address details are correct, and amend if necessary:

    • Whenever possible, the address should be linked to a gazetteer entry.

5.3.2 Add the prefix and suffix information to the property description:

    • Whenever possible, use the picklist entries available to ensure consistency
    • The hectarage of the plot, if it is 0.5 hectares or greater than 0.5 hectares, is to be rounded up or down to two decimal places.
    • Hectarage should not be added to a lease title sheet, only to an ownership title sheet.

The prefix should always contain the word "Subjects" and the number of the cadastral unit.


5.4 Add any property section notes that are required.

5.4.1 If the cadastral unit is affected by a railway boundary, follow the guidance on when to add a property section note or when to add an LRS Title Note for the legal settler.


5.5 Close property section workdesk and open title workdesk.

 Title notes & plan notes

There are two types of note that can be added in the title workdesk - title notes and plan notes.

The notes from plans to legal should be entered as title notes. The reason for this is that a plan note was a note that was automatically copied through and added to the DMS casenotes, and this function is no longer used with the introduction of the Plan Creator. 



5.5.1 Add all necessary title notes - see Further Guidance on Completing the LRS Title Notes.

    • Use templates if they are available,
    • complete all relevant fields in a template,
    • for any fields that do not affect the plot being registered, either delete that field or add NIL.

5.5.2 Complete the FR Plans Remarks to Legal template.

5.5.3 Complete the Deed Plan References template for plans references other than the extent of the cadastral unit that have been added to the cadastral map. These plans references will include:

    • Common areas, and
    • rights, burdens & servitudes.
    • Use a separate title note for each deed that has supplied plans references.

5.5.4 If the decision was taken at step 3.2 to omit a right to a common area as it is not fully defined, add a title note to advise the legal settler of this.

    • GIve details of the deed in which the right is contained.
    • Give details of the right (e.g. right in common to the development common ground)
    • Ask the legal settler to complete the relevant letter to be sent to the applicant when the application is completed.

5.5.5 If a servitude cannot be mapped but is to be included in the title sheet (see Plans References for Rights, Burdens and Servitudes), add a note to advise the legal settler of this.

5.5.6 Add any other relevant information to the title notes.


5.6 Use the Apply button to save the changes made, Close the title workdesk, and Close the application workdesk.
