Abstract

This report offers proposals in the hope they may inform development of a more systematic and integrated approach to the creation, definition and recording of statutory rights, restrictions and obligations (‘RRR’) affecting land parcels. While much progress has been made by Australia’s land information management community over many years, we believe the task has been unduly complicated by over-extension of property rights and concepts into an area which is essentially administrative and regulatory. We propose better definition and specification of the RRR in the statutes which authorize their creation, and a more systematic approach to their recording.

Keywords: property law, sustainability, rights, regulation, RRR, land parcels, Australia's land information management
