The objects of this Act are: (a) to create alternative forms of land title that are simpler and cheaper to administer than existing forms of land title; (b) to provide security of title for persons who live in informal settlements or who are provided with low income housing; (c) to empower the persons concerned economically by means of these rights. The Act empowers a municipality, town or village council or a regional council (for settlement areas) to establish a starter title or land hold title scheme. Starter titles and land hold title rights are defined by this Act and shall be registered by the Land Rights Registrar appointed under this Act in every Land Rights Office established under this Act. A starter title scheme may be upgraded to a land hold title scheme and a starter title or land hold title to full ownership title. Associations establishes under this Act shall manage the common property of the scheme and carry out other functions in respect of a scheme.
