The introduction of computer systems in the keeping of the land titles register is an important step forward in the provision of services to land-holders and conveyancers in the ACT. It will enable the Registrar-General to take full advantage of the available technologies. The introduction of automation to the register will place the ACT in the forefront of an Australia-wide move to computer based systems of titles information.
This Bill is part of the legislative package necessary to achieve automation of processes within the land titles section of the Registrar-General's Office. The amendments in this Bill and in the Real Property (Amendment) Bill 1993 go hand in hand to give the flexibility in the relevant legislation to allow for records to be kept in electronic form and in other media. This will enable a smooth transition to be made from a paper based system of records relating to land titles to a system which encompasses a range of available media. This package gives sufficient scope to allow the Registrar-General to take advantage of further technological developments in the future if they are appropriate to the maintenance of the register. The Bill ensures that Acts which cross-reference with the Real Property Act are kept up to date with these developments. Madam Speaker, I present an explanatory memorandum to the Bill.
Debate (on motion by Mr Humphries) adjourned.
