Land Administration System

Under NLC , the Australian Torrens system of title registration is applied , meaning that all dealings in land must be registered under the registering authority , i.e. the Registrar of Titles or Land Administrator - in order to be effective .

All land titles are in duplicate : the master copy ( register document of title kept in Land Office ) and the personal Copy ( Issue Document of Title )

Conclusiveness of register documents of titles
-Effects of registration are 'indefeasible' - to defeat all prior unregistered claims . Therefore the registered owner of a title will be free from all outside claims to ownership that is not recorded in the Register Document of Title or the Issue Document of Title . (Exceptions to indefeasiblility are cases of fraud or misrepresentation , forgery , or unlawful acquisition of title )
