本登记簿由莫里土地办事处（Moree Lands Office）维护，收录了莫里土地管辖区（Land District of Moree）内所有王室租契（Crown Lease）的汇总记录。
此一土地保有权制度系依据1912年《王室土地（修正案）法案》（Crown Lands (Amendment) Act 1912，第6号法案）设立，其创设目的是替代定居租契保有权（Settlement Lease tenure），作为一种不得转为所有权的放牧用地租契，但1917年之后该项转购权利得到了授予。该租契的有效期限为45年。
根据该租契的条款要求，承租人需在租契生效后的六个月内永久定居于该土地，清除土地上的有害杂草与有害生物（尤以兔子与梨果仙人掌（prickly pear）为甚），并在租契生效的前五年内完成土地外围边界的围栏搭建工作。
本登记簿所记录的信息涵盖：王室租契的年度与编号、申请人及受让人的姓名与住址、申请法定日期、确认日期、租契期限、总部通知转让登记的信函日期、申请土地的详细描述、已缴付的各项费用（含勘测费、租金及逾期付款利息）、付款日期，以及各类土地改良的价值。
