35 Surveyor to note nature and position of survey marks etc

(1) A surveyor must indicate on the survey plan:

(a) the nature and position of any survey mark or monument found by the surveyor, and

(b) the MGA co-ordinates of any permanent survey mark or bench mark found or placed by the surveyor (which are to be determined by a survey technique equal to or better than that derived from using hand held GNSS) together with an indication of the survey method used to determine those co-ordinates and an estimate of the accuracy of those co-ordinates, and

(c) the nature of any survey mark (other than a peg) placed by the surveyor, and

(d) the essential measurements from any reference mark, permanent survey mark or monument to the nearest corner, angle or line mark, and

(e) if the survey is to limit the height or depth of the land surveyed, the AHD values of any permanent survey mark or bench mark placed by the surveyor, together with an estimate of the accuracy of the AHD values.

(2) If reference marks are placed or found at depths of more than 150mm below the existing surface of the ground, the surveyor must indicate the depths on the survey plan.

(3) If reference marks are found, the surveyor must note their origin on the survey plan by reference to the number of the plan on which the marks first occur.

(4) A monument that is important for the definition of the land must be shown in the surveyor's field notes, and on the survey plan, with the annotation "found", "not found", "gone", "disturbed" or "inaccessible", as appropriate.

(5) A monument must not be recorded as "gone" unless a thorough search for it has been made and the measurements of its probable site recorded in the surveyor's field notes.
