Queensland Consolidated Acts

ACQUISITION OF LAND ACT 1967 - SECT 6

6 Easements

(1) When for any purpose it is not necessary that the constructing authority should take the whole estate in any land, but it is sufficient for such purpose to take an easement, the constructing authority may take such easement only and for that purpose the provisions of this Act shall apply as if the easement were land.

(2) Upon application in that behalf, payment of the prescribed fees, and the production to the land registry of the gazette copy of the gazette resumption notice, whereby an easement is taken affecting land under the Land Title Act 1994 , the registrar of titles shall register such easement as prescribed by that Act, notwithstanding that such easement is not being annexed to or used and enjoyed together with any other land.

(3) The taking of an easement over land does not extinguish any interest in the land existing immediately before the easement is taken.
