A Section 88B Instrument is the part of a deposited plan which upon registration:

• creates easements, profit à prendre, restrictions on use of land, and positive covenants
• releases easements and profits à prendre

The instrument must be drawn in accordance with Approved Form 10 Section 88B Instrument and must be lodged as part of the plan. Stamp Duty is not payable.
