❓ Hon Simon O'Brien asks about certificate of title issuance times for different land types from 2001-2006, citing land shortages. The answer indicates the Department of Land Information (DLI) doesn't differentiate between residential, commercial strata, and vacant land in title production, but provides data based on Special Survey Areas (SSA) and non-SSA lots.

2) As DLI does not distinguish between the Residential strata title; Commercial strata title; and vacant land in the production of Certificates of Title, they cannot provide increase or decrease time. However, DLI has two production categories for which it can refer to. Special Survey Areas (SSA's) The Special Survey Area lots have showed little variation in the time taken and have always been under the 5 day average that DLI has committed its self to achieve. Non-SSA lots - The major change in turnarounds for non SSA lots was a sharp increase in total applications, as a result of the property boom, for new title in 2003/2004 financial year, which increased the workload of the area. DLI was cognisant of the impact that this would have on the industry and responded by deploying additional trained officers to this task.
