Land ownership
If you own land in New South Wales, you will be using the land ownership records administered by the Department of Lands.
In 1802, a register was provided by the Judge Advocate and parties were invited to place their dealings on record. These are the first recorded registrations forming the first book of the 'Old Register' for more information see our Old system page.
The Torrens title system provides land owners, and those who wish to deal with land, with proof and security of ownership.
Crown Land is owned and managed by State Government and accounts for almost half of all land in New South Wales.
