The EPA requires the owner of the land recorded on the Registers to inform any occupier, such as persons who are renting, managing, or leasing the land, if the property is:
- listed on the CLR;
- listed on the EMR and subject to conditions of any site management plan; or
- the subject of a notice under Chapter 7, Part 8 of the EP Act.
Anyone selling or otherwise disposing of land listed on either Register is also required to give written notice of the land’s listing to any potential purchaser.
