The Titles Program maintains significant amounts of information on exploration and mining titles, as well as mine working record plans and other plans. Information on actual titles is contained in the Titles Administration System (TAS) database.

The following titles related information can be provided on request:

• TAS database extracts and reports on exploration, mining and petroleum titles and associated dealings,

• Any restrictions imposed under mining or petroleum legislation (mining reserves)

• Title documents (Deed and Conditions)

• Mine workings record plans

Graphics information on titles can be obtained free of charge from the TASMap application.

Min View also allows users to interactively display and query geoscience and exploration tenement information for NSW.

Note: Digital cadastral information and restrictions or boundaries imposed by other agencies must be obtained from the relevant agency.

Process for Obtaining Information

All other requests for titles information must be in writing (letter, fax or email) and must specify exactly what information is required. These requests must also be accompanied by an initial fee including GST of $132 (cheque or credit card details and authorisation).

Requests for information should be directed as follows:

Posted written requests should be marked to the relevant contact and addressed to:

Department of Primary Industries
Titles Program
P O Box 344
Hunter Region Mail Centre NSW 2310

If the time taken to extract and prepare information takes longer than one hour, further charges will accrue at a rate $132 per hour or part thereof (see Schedule of Fees below). These charges will be invoiced to the person making the request. The initial charge of $132 will include up to twenty pages of black and white printing. Any printing in excess of this amount or any colour printing must be charged at the rates shown in the Schedule of Fees.

Title organisations that have accounts with DPI for the provision of information will not be required to make the initial payment, but will be charged in accordance with the Schedule of Fees for all information provided.

Written requests for digital and hard copy information on mine workings record plans do not require upfront fee but will be supplied in accordance with the fees in the Schedule of Fees.

All requests will generally be dealt with in chronological order of receipt, but preference will be given to core business activities (administration of titles, maintenance of systems and mine mapping records).
