On 11 October 2021, the Real Property Amendment (Certificates of Title) Act 2021 commenced, which abolished the Certificates of Title (CTs) and the control of the right to deal (CoRD) framework. All existing CTs have been cancelled and CTs will no longer be issued. Existing CTs will not need to be produced, and CoRD holder consent will not be required, for a dealing or plan to be registered. All existing Guidelines subject to this change are currently being reviewed and will be updated to reflect these changes. For further information regarding the abolition of CTs, please see https://www.registrargeneral.nsw.gov.au/property-and-conveyancing/eConveyancing/abolition-of-certificates-of-title

Preparing the Administration sheets

A staged strata plan uses the same administration sheets as conventional strata plans.

An administration sheet can be prepared using the:

 
 
  • SP Form 3.01 for the original plan when the strata certificate is signed by a registered certifier
  • SP Form 3.02 for the original plan when the strata certificate is signed by a local council
  • SP Form 3.03 for a strata plan of subdivision in a subsequent stage when the strata certificate is signed by a registered certifier
  • SP Form 3.04 for a strata plan of subdivision in a subsequent stage when the strata certificate is signed by a local council.
 

The strata certificate must indicate that the plan is part of a development scheme.

If the plan is stage one of a staged development it will include a Strata Development Contract and a statement as follows must be included:

“THIS PLAN IS SUBJECT TO A STRATA DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT WHICH IS FILED WITH THE STRATA PLAN”

The schedule of unit entitlement should only show the new lots in the strata plan or strata plan of subdivision.
