Hi Emma
Campbelltown and Camden councils did a small boundary variation (about 200 lots) and we sought legal advice in regards to transferring Pension Rebate Concession data and were advised that because the Act refers to ‘a council’ or ‘the council’ the data is not council specific but general so any council can hold (or be transferred) the application data.
I would confidently say that you could apply this principle to the sale of land as the same terminology is within Section 713, that is ‘a council’ or ‘the council’. If these matters are somewhat contentious then it may be prudent to get legal advice, to be safe.
Hope you are keeping safe and are well.
Regards,
Andrew
