(a) in the case of a notice relating to freehold land—to the registrar of titles at Brisbane or, as the situation of the land concerned may require, to the local deputy registrar of titles at Rockhampton or Townsville;
(b) in the case of a notice relating to land other than freehold land—to the registrar of dealings, Department of Lands, at Brisbane or, as the case may require, to any other person charged with the duty of recording in a public register dealings affecting the land.
(2) The registrar or other person to whom sufficient notification of the giving of an improvement notice is furnished pursuant to subsection (1)—
(a) in the case of land that is freehold land, shall—
(i) according to the request of the trust by which the notification is given, record in the register the fact of the giving of an improvement notice in respect of the land to which the improvement notice relates; and
(ii) after making the recording in the register as prescribed in subparagraph (i), cause any current instrument of title to the land produced to the registrar or subsequently issued by the registrar to have recorded thereon the fact of the giving of the improvement notice unless the registrar has, in the meantime, been notified that the improvement notice has ceased to subsist or to operate and the registrar has complied with subsection (3) so far as the registrar has been able in relation thereto;
(c) in the case of land that comprises a holding under the Land Act 1962 shall—
(i) when a fresh instrument of lease is issued in circumstances specified in section 284(1) of that Act, endorse a memorial of the instrument of notification or make a noting that records the fact of the existence of an improvement notice in respect of the land (whichever record was theretofore made in respect of the land) in the new register kept of dealings in respect of that land;
(ii) when a grant of the land in fee simple is made, shall transmit to the registrar of titles a copy of any subsisting entry in the register kept in the Department of Lands that relates to the improvement notice given in respect of the land, together with the original or a copy of the notification furnished to the registrar of the giving of the improvement notice and the registrar of titles shall comply with paragraph (a) in respect of the deed of grant and any other instrument of title to the land or part thereof as if the notification of the giving of the improvement notice had been given to the registrar in the first instance.
(3) As soon as practicable after an improvement notice has ceased to subsist or to operate in respect of any land the trust by which it was given shall furnish notification of that fact to the registrar or other person to whom notification of the giving of the improvement notice was furnished pursuant to subsection (1) and upon receipt of sufficient notification such registrar or other person—
(a) where the fact of the giving of the improvement notice is recorded in the register—shall record in the register the fact that the improvement notice in respect of the land identified in the notification has ceased to subsist or to operate and where a current instrument of title to that land is produced to the registrar, before releasing that instrument, cause a similar recording to be made on that instrument;
(b) where a memorial is endorsed or a noting is made in a register kept of dealings in respect of the land—shall—
(i) in the case of a memorial so endorsed—suitably endorse that memorial that the improvement notice to which it relates has ceased to subsist or to operate in respect of the land identified in the notification;
(ii) in the case of a noting so made—cancel the noting as far as it relates to the land identified in the notification.
