Tasmania regulation
These rules make Tasmania adopt the ARNECC model operating requirements as the State’s electronic conveyancing rules and automatically accept any later ARNECC substitutions. The rules say those requirements take effect 20 business days after the Registrar publishes them on the Department’s public website, and that consultation or exposure drafts do not count as publication. Who is affected: parties using Tasmania’s electronic conveyancing system (registries, conveyancers, platform operators and their clients) who must comply once the Registrar publishes the model.
