   (b)  altering recordings in the Register-

to the extent necessary to give effect to the instrument.

(2) Other information required or authorised by or under this Act or any other
Act to be recorded in the Register is recorded in the Register by-

   (ii) in any manner-

that he or she thinks fit; and

   (b)  may at any time vary the manner and form in which recordings are made.

   (b)  cannot be registered by making an endorsement, entry or memorandum on
        another registered instrument or duplicate instrument.

documents kept by, or available to, the Registrar or in any other manner the
Registrar thinks fit.

any other amendments in the Register that the Registrar considers necessary
because of the making of that recording.
