Updated Lodgment Rules exceptions list
The Office of the Registrar General has published an updated Lodgment Rules exceptions list, which will replace the current exceptions list on 24 June 2024. (Note: exception 68.5 will commence on the date of publication of the Lodgment Rules exceptions list).
All documents lodged with NSW Land Registry Services (NSW LRS) as a Dealing with Exception from 24 June 2024 must refer to the updated Lodgment Rules exceptions list.
Key changes
Key changes between the existing and the updated Lodgment Rules exceptions list include, but are not limited to:
- Removal of exceptions 32.4 and 32.5 as such leases are capable of electronic lodgment using the electronic lease form
- Amendment to 32.8 as the exception applies irrespective of whether it is over whole or part of the land
- Amendment to 32.9 as the exception applies irrespective of whether it is within a retirement village or not
- A new exception 68.5 for Transfers involving a Registered Native Title Body Corporate; and
- Minor amendments to exceptions 73.1 and 75.1 for improved clarity as to when these exceptions apply.
There have also been additional notes added in the updated Lodgment Rules exceptions list for further guidance.
