  1. Incorporating Sustainable Development Objectives into ICT Enabled Land Administration Systems Building a System to Manage Property RRRs in 21st Century Australia Rohan BennettPhD CandidateExpert Group Meeting 9-11 November 2005 Supervisors:Prof. Ian Williamson Ms. Jude Wallace

  2. Resource or Land Property Right Property Right Resource or Land The Problem • Property and Ownership have changed… Right Holder Right Holder Government & Citizens

  3. Property Rights The Problem Government Created Restrictions and Responsibilities Through Legislation

  4. Resource or Land The Problem • Incorporating Restrictions & Responsibilities into our theory of Property Rights Right Holder New Theory of Property 1. What Owner can do 2. What Owner can’t do 3. What Government can/can’t do Above the Line = what we see on the Property Title. It represents unlimited rights and opportunity (subject to some overriding interests). Below the Line = hundreds of statutes which declare restrictions & /responsibilities on land. These are mostly managed in an ad hoc, independent fashion. Government & Citizens

  5. The Problem • The Torrens System doesn’t manage the whole relationship… • The new property interests are managed in an non-integrated, ad hoc fashion. • Land related activities are not efficient and achieving sustainability objectives is next to impossible. Mining Lease - State Planning Zone – Local & State Clearing Restriction - State Aesthetic Limitation - Body Corporate Parcel Ownership - State Utility Line - Private Heritage Protection Area – Federal & State

  6. South East Queensland Times 08.09.05 Spatially confused farmer fined over $7000 for illegal land clearing Stateline Victoria 29th July 2005 Multi-million dollar apartment complex built on a toxic site The owner and developer of 49 new apartments in Brunswick has begun legal proceedings against the Spotless Group after an EPA audit found soil and groundwater at the site had been contaminated. Until 1992, Spotless operated a dry-cleaning and laundry business at 225 Barkly Street, Queensland accounted for 75% of land clearing in Australia in 2000, followed by NSW with 18%. Victoria accounted for just 0.4% of the national total — but it is already the most cleared state, with 70% of its native vegetation cover lost. Further Questions • How much land regulation do we want? • Why don’t some restrictions work? • How do we address ‘implied’ restrictions? • The issue of compensation… • Do we need a national approach? Landfill Anyone?

  8. The End

  9. Extra Content

  10. The Research Hypothesis (1) • Proposed solutions are problematic: • Too large and costly • Too focused on Government • Information Provision rather than Service Provision • Analysis of existing restriction systems is needed: • What is their Impact on Tenure and Ownership? • What is there Spatial Extent? How do we define them? • Which ones matter? Which ones work? Which don’t? • Who administers them? How – Spatially Enabled? • More consultation with end users is required: • What information do they need? • Which land related activities are problematic to them? • The possibilities offered by new spatial technologies needs exploration: • Next Generation GIS • Web Mapping Services • Location Enabled DB Platforms = More Efficient Land Related Activities + Achievement of Sustainability Goals

  11. Research Methodology (1) Concept Identify and define need for the new system. Requirements Analysis of existing systems and end users. Design & Development Create a blueprint for the design with necessary specifications for information and technology Testing Evaluates the system in relation to the expected or intended functionality

  12. Requirements 2. Emerging Users & Providers (AUS) Case Study: Explore the information needs and capacities of core user sectors including Developers, Utilities, Finance, Insurance. 1. The Australian Situation Case study: Explore the legislative and administrative regimes of existing restrictions and responsibilities within Australian jurisdictions. 4. Emerging European Models Case Study: Explore the legislative and administrative regimes of existing restrictions and responsibilities within European jurisdictions. 3. Emerging Geo-ICT Analysis: Document and assess the opportunities offered by next generation GIS, location base DB platforms, and web mapping services. Requirements Document

  13. Results (1) • Case Study: Existing Systems in Australia Federal Local Body Corporate State Privately Listed e.g. Utility Database of all RRRs –WHY?? Implied/Unlisted e.g. Hazard Sites e.g. Land locked Parcels

  14. Results (2) – Assessing Statutes

  15. Results (3) – The Spatial Element • Ownership • Blanket Restriction • Single Parcel Restriction • Patchwork Restriction • Non Parcel Restriction

  16. Results (4) - The Tenure Element Tenure(s) Impacted by Restriction Important Spatial Extent of Restriction Opportunity Opportunity

  17. Results (5) • Case Study: Victorian Statute Book • 1045 Acts • 523 Acts – Land/Spatially Related • ~ 100 – Important • ~ 50 - Allocation is dynamic Manageable!

  18. Looking Ahead… • Continue analysis of Restriction Statutes: • Federal, Local, Body Corporate • Begin consultation with User Groups Agriculture: Which vegetation can I clear from my property? Utility Company: Where are my assets? What do I own? What easements exist? Developers: Where can we build? What can we build? What can’t we build? Insurance: What risks surround this property? Should we provide cover?

  19. Stateline Victoria 29th July 2005 Multi-million dollar apartment complex built on a toxic site The owner and developer of 49 new apartments in Brunswick has begun legal proceedings against the Spotless Group after an EPA audit found soil and groundwater at the site had been contaminated. Until 1992, Spotless operated a dry-cleaning and laundry business at 225 Barkly Street, Further Questions • How much land regulation do we want? Do we need a cap? • Not all restrictions work (e.g. Land Clearing in QLD). Why don’t they work? Are there alternatives? • How do we address the problem of ‘implied’ restrictions -those which are not listed but should be? Landfill Anyone?
