Crown Lands

Apply for adjoining landowner's consent (non–waterway) including landward boundary approvals

Before you apply

When you do a boundary survey next to Crown land or a Crown road, you might need to get consent from the adjoining owner. Sometimes, the law or NSW Land Registry Services (LRS) requires us to approve or consent to the boundaries on plans you want to register with LRS.

Approval can be given in these 2 cases if we are the adjoining owner:

  1. First definition of a landward boundary of a Crown road or reserve of stipulated width s75(2)(a) SSIR 2024.
  2. First definition of a non-waterway natural feature boundary (like a cliff or ridgeline) s75(2)(a) SSIR 2024.

Consent can be given if we are the adjoining owner in these cases:

  1. Defining boundaries of limited title land next to Crown land that is outside an occupation older than 12 years.
  2. Defining a boundary next to a Crown road or a closed Crown road that remained Crown land, where there's a significant difference from the original survey.

Further information can be found at the NSW LRS website: Notification of consent of adjoining owners.

Application fee

We will send you an invoice for any fees after we receive your application. Once you pay the application fee, we will process your application.

Fees are non–refundable if we are not the adjoining owner.
