195H Amendment or replacement of plans

(1) The Registrar-General may, on the application of any person with an interest in any land to which a plan registered or recorded under this Division relates, or without any such application, and on such evidence and after such notices (if any) as appear to the Registrar-General to be necessary, amend the plan for the purpose of correcting any error in or supplying any omission from the plan.

(2) An amendment to a plan--

(a) shall not render original words or symbols illegible,

(b) shall bear the date of the amendment on the plan, and

(c) shall be initialled by the Registrar-General or a person authorised by the Registrar-General.

(3) Except as provided by subsection (4), an amendment shall take effect as if the error corrected or omission supplied had not been made.

(4) An amendment made under the authority of this section does not affect the construction of any instrument made or entered into before the amendment so as to prejudice any person claiming under that instrument.

(5) Instead of amending a registered plan that was lodged electronically, the Registrar-General may require a replacement plan that includes the amendments to be lodged electronically. Subsections (1)-(4) (subsection (2)(c) excepted) extend to an amendment included in any such replacement plan that is in electronic form.
