Table of contents

What reports can be ordered through Crown Land?

The Crown Land facility allows the ordering of a Crown Land Status Report.

What information is returned from a Crown Land search?

Crown Land returns information about the legal status of a Crown Land Parcel, available scanned images of any relevant plans or Government Gazette documents.

What search criteria should I use to order a Crown Land report?

To search using Crown Land a Crown Description is required. A Crown Description is comprised of a Crown Allotment Number and Section Number, followed by a Parish or Township.

Example: 12B L1 Township of Beechworth

Please Note:

  • Allotment and Section are optional. A Parish/Township must be selected.
  • If Sections are supplied but not Allotments, then all Allotments within those Sections will be shown.
  • If an Allotment range is supplied but no Sections, then all Allotments within the supplied range for any Section will be shown.
  • Multiple Sections can be supplied by separating each by a comma.

Example: A, B, F

Can I confirm property details on a map?

Using the “View and Confirm on map” facility on the Confirm Property screen, you can verify the property that you have specified. The map will display your selected property, which will be highlighted, along with a diagram of any surrounding properties. The selected property can be changed by clicking an alternate address on the map. The details of the new address can then be confirmed on the Confirm Property screen.

Can my order be saved and finished at a later time?

Your order can be saved and finished at a later time by using the “Save, Finish Later” button. After selecting this button, your order will be saved in the Confirm Inbox with the status set to SAVED. You can resume a saved order by selecting it from the Confirm Inbox.

How long are saved orders stored?

Orders that are saved to be finished later are available for seven days from the Confirm Inbox. After this time the SAVED order status will change to EXPIRED and the data will need to be resubmitted if you wish to perform the order again.

Please Note: All orders with a SAVED status will automatically change to EXPIRED in the Confirm Inbox at midnight on 30 June of every year.
