In these instances, until dedicated access is available, legal access is to be provided by way of an easement over the adjoining land linking it to a dedicated road. An easement, in relation to a lot which is to be dedicated for public use land from a freehold subdivision, has been executed by the registered proprietor in favour of the Local Government, its servants and invitees and agreed to by that Local Government. However, for the purpose of leasing or purchase, the area will be dealt with as road. Deeds of Grant in Trust Local Governments, statutory or incorporated bodies are preferred grantees as they are enduring entities and generally have access to funds and equipment for maintenance and enhancement of the land. Survey is required.
Dedicated access is required to be provided.
Suitable plans are required to enable the boundaries to be clearly defined. To require that each parcel have dedicated access would be a considerable imposition on the developer and the Local Government. However, the Local Government must make arrangements to gain access to the land by way of registered easement over the adjoining freehold for maintenance purposes, until such time as the land is provided with dedicated access.
