An 88B Instrument is an important legal document associated with certain property subdivision and development projects in New South Wales. Understanding the purpose of an 88B Instrument can help property owners and developers manage restrictions, easements and positive covenants associated with subdivided land.
What Is an 88B Instrument?
An 88B Instrument is generally used in connection with subdivision plans to create and define particular interests and restrictions affecting land. These may include easements, restrictions on the use of land and positive covenants.
The document works alongside the relevant deposited plan and provides details about specific property-related rights and obligations.
Because property development documentation can have legal and technical implications, professional assistance is recommended when preparing or reviewing an 88B Instrument.
Why Is an 88B Instrument Important?
During subdivision, new lots may require arrangements that affect access, services, drainage, maintenance or future development. An 88B Instrument can record certain rights and obligations associated with the land.
Depending on the project, it may address matters such as:
- Easements for access
- Drainage arrangements
- Utility services
- Restrictions on land use
- Positive covenants
- Maintenance responsibilities
- Other property-related requirements
The exact provisions depend on the individual development and relevant requirements.
Role of Surveyors
Surveyors play an important role in subdivision projects because they prepare plans and coordinate technical information required for the development process. Where an 88B Instrument is required, surveying professionals can assist with the preparation and coordination of the relevant documentation.
Surveyors work with property owners, developers, planners, engineers, solicitors and other professionals to ensure that the surveying components of a project are appropriately addressed.
88B Instrument and Subdivision
Subdivision projects can involve multiple technical and administrative stages. A surveyor may first undertake a site survey and establish relevant boundaries and site features. The subdivision plan can then be prepared based on the proposed arrangement.
Where required, an 88B Instrument may accompany the subdivision documentation to identify particular restrictions, easements or covenants.
Early professional advice can help property owners understand the surveying requirements before submitting documentation.
