32 Folios of the Register
(1) The Registrar-General creates a folio of the Register for land by making a
record of--
(a) a description of the land and of the estate or interest
therein for which it is created,
(b) a description of the proprietor for the
time being of the estate or interest and the fact that any such proprietor is
a minor if the Registrar-General knows that to be the case, and
(c) such
particulars, as the Registrar-General thinks fit, of--
(i) other estates or
interests, if any, affecting the land, and
(ii) other information, if any,
that relates to the land or any estate or interest therein and is included in
that record pursuant to this or any other Act (including an Act of the
Parliament of the Commonwealth) or an instrument made under any such Act,
and
by allocating a distinctive reference to the record so made.
(2A)
Subsection (1) (c) applies, in the case of a qualified folio of the Register,
subject to the provisions of section 28I.
(3) Where a person is registered as
proprietor of a lease registered under this Act, the Registrar-General may--
(a) if the Registrar-General thinks fit so to do, create a folio or folios of
the Register for the estate or interest of that person in some or all of the
land leased, and
(b) for that purpose require a plan of the land to be lodged
for registration or recording which shall, if the Registrar-General so
requires, be a plan of survey.
(4) The Registrar-General may, if the
Registrar-General thinks fit so to do, create a new folio or new folios of the
Register for the whole or any part of the land comprised in one or more of the
folios of the Register.
(5) Where, under this Act, the Registrar-General
creates a new folio of the Register for land contained in a previously created
folio of the Register, the Registrar-General shall appropriately cancel the
previously created folio.
(6) The Registrar-General shall have, and shall be
deemed always to have had, power to cancel in such manner as the
Registrar-General considers proper any recording in the Register that the
Registrar-General is satisfied does not affect the land to which the recording
purports to relate.
(7) The Registrar-General shall maintain a record of all
dealings recorded in, or action taken in respect of, a computer folio and such
other information, if any, relating to the folio as the Registrar-General
thinks fit.
