Yes. A Crown description is commonly one "level" - eg. Allotment 1. It can also have two "levels" - eg. Allotment 3 Section 2. The simplest way to search using a crown description is to enter the information as it appears on the land title. For example, allot 3 sec 2 Parish Bagshot.
There are two other search methods. They require the use of the “township” or “parish” keyword.
Option 1 Township keyword. The search format is: "township" keyword, township name, then the allotment number and possibly a section number. NOTE : You may not need to provide all this information before a match is found.
Start typing your Crown description into the Global Search tool. As you progressively add more information the search results are refined (by default only the first five search results are displayed). When your parcel of interest appears in the drop-down list select it with your mouse (NOTE: do not press enter).
For example, if you wanted to search for Township Ballan Allot 1 Sec 17, a match is found after "Township Ball" is entered.
Option 2 Parish keyword. The search format is: "parish" keyword, parish name, then the allotment number and possibly a section number. NOTE: You may not need to provide all this information before a match is found.
Start typing your Crown description into the Global Search tool. As you progressively add more information the search results are refined (by default only the first five search results are displayed). When your parcel of interest appears in the drop-down list select it with your mouse (NOTE: do not press enter).
For example, if you wanted to search for Parish Ballarat Allot 1 Sec 2a, a match is found after "Parish Ballar" is entered.
