NRS-21967 | Subdivision registers [Municipal District of Burwood / Municipality of Burwood / Burwood Council]

The Local Government Act, 1919 required that, if subdivision of land was desired, an application accompanied by plans and specifications was to be submitted to Council for approval. The Town Clerk certified the subdivision if satisfied that all requirements (other than the registration of plans) had been met. Following certification, a plan of the subdivision including a statement regarding the title to the land and the Town Clerk’s certificate was registered by the Registrar General. (1) Subdivisions applied normally to sections of 20 acres or more although smaller subdivisions could be sought in some circumstances to regularise a building encroaching upon adjacent land. (2) When determining whether to certify an application, the Town Clerk considered the shape and size of the land parcels, the road frontage to each section, the location and access to present and future services; means of access to each land parcel, whether the district was currently or potentially residential; number of houses to the acre allowed; planned park and recreation areas, and drainage. (3) This series records the subdivisions authorised by Burwood Council. Information recorded include plan number, date lodged, by whom lodged, name of owner, street, description of land, date and minute number of the Council’s approval, clerk’s certificate number, date sent to the valuer general, fees and remarks. The plan number is the number assigned by Council on approval. These are simple numbers until 1946. In 1947 an annual single number system was developed. The remarks column is used for notes such as details of amendment of the plan.The registers include strata subdivisions from 1961, as well as a list of Correspondence to Officers 1920-1930. The entries in this series are in chronological order.Endnotes: (1) Local Government Act, 1919 (Act No 41, 1919) s. 327 (2) Ibid. s. 330 (3) Ibid s. 333

《1919年地方政府法案》规定，若需进行土地细分，须向市政局提交附规划图则与技术规格的申请以获批准。市政秘书（Town Clerk）在确认所有要求（规划图注册除外）均已满足后，对该细分项目予以认证。认证完成后，包含土地所有权声明及市政秘书认证的细分规划图由总登记官（Registrar General）注册。

（1）土地细分通常适用于20英亩及以上地块，但在部分情况下，为规范侵占相邻土地的建筑，可申请更小面积的细分。

（2）市政秘书在决定是否认证申请时，需考量以下因素：地块形状与面积、各地块的道路临街面、现有及未来公共服务设施的位置与可达性、各地块的通行方式、该区域当前或潜在的居住属性、每英亩允许建造的房屋数量、规划公园及休闲区域，以及排水系统。

（3）本系列记录伯伍德市政局（Burwood Council）批准的土地细分项目，所包含信息有：规划编号、提交日期、提交人、业主姓名、街道、土地描述、市政局批准日期及会议纪要编号、秘书认证编号、送交估价总长（Valuer General）日期、费用及备注。

规划编号为市政局批准时分配的编号，1946年前采用简单数字编号，1947年启用年度单一编号体系。备注栏用于记录规划图修订细节等信息。

登记册包含1961年起的分层土地细分（strata subdivisions）项目，以及1920-1930年致官员函件清单（Correspondence to Officers）。
