The F6 motorway reservation appears to be the area most affected by the state government blunder which saw wrong information given to property purchasers.
A government update on Wednesday said a data review had found 309 potential purchasers who inquired about potential and actual government or authority interests in a parcel of land in various areas were given incorrect responses.
Their inquiries related to 205 unique properties.
In one case, the land beneath the property is required for a proposed tunnel as part of a current project.
The remaining 204 properties are within a broad area identified for a planned or potential project.
Of the affected properties, at least 140 have been the subject of a transaction.
The review found no incorrect certificates were issued for the Werrington Arterial project, which is significant in assessing the extent of the problem on the F6 corridor.
Last week, the government said there were at least 140 recently transacted properties in which Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) may have an interest, and they related to the proposed F6 motorway and the Werrington arterial project. .
Government agency, Land and Property Information (LPI), issued incorrect certificates as a result of the Central Register of Restrictions (CRR) not being completely updated due to an administrative error.
Minister for Finance, Services and Property, Dominic Perrottet, said on Wednesday, government teams had begun visiting residents, whose properties were affected by incorrect information certificates issued between July and October this year.
“Since being made aware of the issue last Thursday, our number one priority has been ensuring residents are provided with the correct information and necessary support,” he said.
“The door-knocking teams will visit affected residents and encourage them to get in touch with their conveyancers or representatives as we work to resolve any issues arising from this error.
“I have also personally contacted a number of residents by phone, and in the coming days I will be writing to all those we have identified to communicate the government’s apologies.”
Mr Perrottet said, in addition, all solicitors and conveyancers who conducted CRR searches in the relevant period were being contacted.
The LPI call centre’s hours were extended over the weekend and a dedicated online resource had been established on the LPI website, with further details and frequently asked questions.
Mr Perrottet said terms of reference had been drafted for an independent investigation into the cause..
Anyone who thinks they may have been affected is encouraged to call 1300 052 637, email: generalenquiry@lpi.nsw.gov.au or visit: lpi.nsw.gov.au
Alternatively, land owners can contact the solicitor or conveyancer who was engaged for the purchase of their property.
