Section 88B – Ensuring Your Development Meets Legal Requirements
Secure Your Easements & Covenants with Confidence
Navigating legal requirements for land development can be complex, and missing a critical step can lead to costly delays.
A Section 88B Instrument is a legal document required for registering easements, positive covenants, and restrictions with NSW Land Registry Services (LRS). Whether you’re subdividing land, creating an easement, or meeting council requirements, you need precise and compliant documentation to move forward.

What is a Section 88B Instrument?
A Section 88B Instrument is a legal requirement for registering:
Easements (such as drainage, rights of way, or utility access)
Positive covenants (binding landowners to specific obligations)
Restrictions on land use (such as heritage or environmental protections)
This instrument is registered alongside plans like Torrens Title Subdivisions and Plans of Easement, ensuring legal recognition and enforceability of easements and covenants.
Why Do You Need a Section 88B Instrument?
A Section 88B Instrument is mandatory for developments that require:
Council & Land Registry Services (LRS) compliance – Avoid legal roadblocks
Registration of easements & covenants – Secure land use rights
Occupation Certificate approval – Required before completion of some developments
Smooth property transactions – Ensure clear, undisputed land titles
Without this legally binding document, your project may face delays, legal complications, or refusal by council.
