(1) No. It is considered that freehold land records provided to the Office of State Revenue are reliable and accurate. The issue referred to by the Auditor General arises largely due to the provision of data relating to Crown land and other non taxable land by automated data transfer processes.
(2) This question should be referred to the Treasurer.
(3)-(6) Landgate advises that it is proposed to work with the Land Data Integrity Project and the Land Data Management Team to address any issues arising out of the current data extraction and load processes
(7) Not applicable.
