To address the creation, use or sale of public purpose reservations in title. Except in the case of hardship or family transfer, a public purpose reservation will not be allocated to a lot on subdivision and must either be purchased or leased or dealt with as unallocated State land. If an owner of freehold land applies for cancellation and purchase of a road reservation, the Local Government, or where there may be a possible requirement for a State controlled road, the Department of Main Roads, must be consulted before consideration is given to disposing of the reservation. Appropriate authorities must be consulted when dealing with other reservations.
Reservations are available for use only for their designated purposes.
In future reservation for a public purpose will only be created in titles or leases where there is a clear requirement for its use in the foreseeable future.
