South Australia - not to be left behind

Readiness Planning for NECS

Land Services Group of the Department for Administrative and Information Services has undertaken extensive consultation with stakeholders on the concept of electronic conveyancing in South Australia. This consultation undertaken as part of the land administration reform program ATLAS culminated in the publishing of a “Proposal for Digital Conveyancing in South Australia” in late 2004. Key actions identified in the proposal as necessary prior to the introduction of Electronic Conveyancing were:

* The removal of the Duplicate CT
* Implementation of Priority Notices
* Reforms to witnessing and Identification procedures
* Implementation of Dual Certification
* Introduction of Agency Agreements

Legislative changes to the Real Property Act to allow for electronic conveyancing have also been identified and forwarded for drafting.
