NSW Land Registry Services (NSW LRS) has introduced new ‘smart’ digital Administration Sheets for lodgment with Deposited Plans, Community Plans and Strata Plans. Smart Admin Sheets are interactive PDF documents that enable lodging parties to prepare plans with greater certainty and less chance of administrative errors.
Both the existing and the smart Admin Sheets can be lodged with NSW LRS from today (11 July 2019) onwards. You can find the new smart Admin Sheets in the NSW LRS website Forms library and with the approved forms on the Registrar General’s Guidelines.
The submission of incomplete or incorrect Admin Sheets to NSW LRS can delay plan registration, which can frustrate our customers and in turn delay their customers from finalising registration and completing the settlement process.
Using the smart Admin Sheets will reduce common data entry issues that lead to requisitions and ensure that the correct Admin Sheets are lodged.
Key benefits of these smart Admin Sheets are:
- Data entered into common fields is automatically completed in subsequent parts of the form, reducing the need to repeatedly enter information and the chance of data discrepancies.
- In-built business rules address common data entry issues by:
- Automatically updating page numbers when new sheets are added.
- Highlighting inconsistencies with sequential data such as dates.
- Checking data formatting including auto-capitalisation and mandatory number-based fields.
- Allowing users to check fields prior to lodgment, including spell check and displaying specific data fields relevant to the plan being lodged (for example in the Survey Certificate).
- Each smart Admin Sheet incorporates the relevant supplementary sheets into a single interactive PDF, so lodging parties can spend less time locating supplementary sheets and ensure that they complete the right ones.
