32 .         Modifying and discharging covenants

        (1)         If land is subject to a covenant referred to in section 150 because of a road access condition, the owner of the land may apply to the Commission for its consent to modifying or discharging the covenant.

        (2)         The application must —

            (a)         be made in a form approved by the Commission; and

            (b)         be accompanied by any fee set under section 20.

        (3)         The Commission may consent to modifying or discharging the covenant if it is satisfied —

            (a)         that the circumstances that justified imposing the road access condition have materially changed since the condition was imposed; and

            (b)         that the current circumstances justify modifying or discharging the covenant.

        (4)         If the Commission consents to modifying or discharging the covenant, the Commission must give the applicant a written notice that specifies either —

            (a)         the modification to which the Commission consents; or

            (b)         that the Commission consents to the discharge of the covenant.

        (5)         If the owner of the land —

            (a)         applies to the Registrar of Titles to have the covenant modified or discharged (as the case may be); and

            (b)         gives the Registrar the Commission’s written notice given under subregulation (4) in relation to the covenant,

                the Registrar may, by order, modify or discharge the covenant accordingly and may make any entries or endorsements that may be necessary or proper to evidence the modification or discharge.

        (6)         If the Commission refuses its consent on an application made under this regulation, it must give the applicant a written notice of its decision that includes its reasons for refusing.

        (7)         A person who is dissatisfied with the Commission’s decision made on an application by the person under this regulation may apply to the State Administrative Tribunal for a review, in accordance with Part 14 of the Act, of the decision.
