### sec.155 Correcting unregistered instruments
The registrar may correct an obvious error in a lodged plan of survey that is in paper form by—
drawing a line through the error without making the original words illegible; and
writing in the correct information; and
dating and initialling the correction.
The registrar may correct an obvious error in a lodged instrument (other than a plan of survey) by noting the correction—
on the instrument; or
if the instrument is in electronic form—in the appropriate register.
The registrar may correct an obvious error in a lodged instrument only if the registrar is satisfied that the instrument is incorrect and the correction will not prejudice the rights of a person.
An instrument corrected by the registrar under this section has the same effect as if the relevant error had not been made.
