Title Encumbrances and Land Dealings

Schedule 1 Title Encumbrances Technical Material

Schedule 1 Title Encumbrances Technical Material is currently under review by Council. Please use the Draft Standard Terms and Information on this page for Positive Covenants and Restriction as to the Use of Land documents. Please contact Council’s Building and Development Advisory Service on 9952 8222 if you need more information.

Please note that NSW Land Registry Services are moving to electronic lodgement and Council is no longer able to undertake registration on your behalf. Individual property owners are exempt for the time being and you will be able to register the paper documents at NSW Land Registry Services.

Development in the City of Ryde often includes engineering measures which require ongoing maintenance of stormwater drainage systems and flood protection measures to ensure they are preserved and function as approved. Examples of these systems are:

• Onsite detention systems
• Alternative drainage systems (e.g. pump drainage systems/ charged drainage systems),
• Alterations to landform, retaining walls and dwelling floor levels which are designed and intended to protect the development and occupants from major overland flows/ flooding, as well as prevent impact neighbouring properties.

To ensure the maintenance of these systems and restrictions, Council requires the owner to register an 88E, an 88B or a Restriction on the title of the property.
