Hi I understand that there is now an option for the Statutory Declaration for the local government to be dealt with in PEXA as per below. This is where the local government is to confirm that the land is not being transferred to the local government as sole Trustee under section 117 (1) of the Trusts Act 1973: Where land under the provisions of the Land Title Act 1994 is transferred to a local government, as sole transferee , by means of an instrument of transfer , such instrument shall not be registered in accordance with the provisions of that Act unless it is accompanied by a statutory declaration made under the Oaths Acts 1867 by the prescribed person or persons declaring that the land is not being transferred to the local government as a sole trustee . https://community.pexa.com.au/t5/PEXA-Product-Releases/PEXA-Release-16-0-0-07-May-2022/ba-p/24199 The relevant information can be located under New Attachment Type – Statutory Declaration – QLD: A new attachment type of Statutory Declaration can now be attached to a Transfer in QLD. This attachment type will allow Local Governments not transacting in a capacity to represent a purchaser in QLD. How do we actually do this in practice? Thank you.
