The following process should be used where a request is identified at intake to add the plot(s) undergoing registration or a share in a plot undergoing registration to an existing registered title.


Process Steps

Additional Information

1.1 Check the request identified in the application form or covering letter.

1.2 Examine the cadastral map and the title sheets for the registered title(s), any advance notices within the 35 day time limit, any pending application(s) undergoing registration and consider if amalgamation may proceed.


 Plans Settle Considerations

Consider if:

  • any new references can be shown on the existing cadastral unit
  • the amalgamation will result in a manageable sized cadastral unit
 Legal Settle Considerations

Consider if:

  • the amalgamation will result in a manageable sized and readable title sheet
  • the proprietors that hold title to each plot have the same destinations - refer to the senior caseworker if destinations are different
  • the proprietors that hold title to each plot hold title in the same capacity - refer to the senior caseworker if title is held in different capacities
 Other Considerations

Consider if:

  • an "add to" application is a requirement under the 2012 Act
  • there any pending applications, including advance notices that would indicate that adding the plot to the existing cadastral unit is not appropriate
  • the combined plots will continue to be transacted on as a single cadastral unit in the future
  • the combined plots will not continue to be transacted on as a single cadastral unit in the future but will be split into additional cadastral units is there still a benefit to the plots being combined prior to future transactions

  • the overall benefits of combining the plots outweigh the administrative costs


1.3 Return case with instructions to intake officer.
