Changes to the Lodgment Rules – 100% on-line plan lodgment
Publish date:
Changes to the Lodgment Rules come into effect on 1 July 2025. The changes require all deposited plans and strata plans to be lodged for registration electronically, through the NSW LRS Connect Portal.
Updated Lodgment Rules can be viewed on our website here
Why are changes being made
- Already, 99% of plans are lodged electronically through NSW LRS Connect, taking advantage of the efficiencies provided by an on-line lodgment and registration process.
- 100% on-line plan lodgment is the next step in the digital survey plan reform. A move to intelligent digital survey plans will reduce errors and support a more efficient, accurate and accessible cadastre.
What do the changes mean
- From 1 July 2025, NSW LRS will no longer accept over the counter lodgment of survey plans.
- All survey plan lodgments and re-lodgments must be made using NSW LRS Connect.
Support during transition
- Paper plans prepared before 1 July 2025 can still be lodged for registration. They can be scanned by a surveyor and lodged using a NSW LRS Connect workspace.
