Land and Conveyancing Law Reform (Amendment) Bill 2021

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The proposal would give people more time to register certain rights over land, specifically easements and “profits à prendre,” which are legal rights to use someone else’s land in a defined way, such as access or taking something from it. At present, those rights must be registered within 12 years, and the change would extend that period to 17 years. The aim is to reduce the risk of people losing important property rights simply because they were not registered quickly enough. That matters for landowners, neighbours and anyone relying on long-standing access or usage rights.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to amend the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 to provide for an amendment to section 38 of the same Act to extend the period for the registration of easements and profits à prendre.
