New South Wales Repealed Regulations New South Wales Repealed RegulationsThis legislation has been repealed.
(1) In a rural survey, a surveyor must mark definitely and durably all lines that form or are to form the boundaries between parcels. The marking is to be done with a boundary mark.
(2) In addition, if a boundary is unfenced, the lines that form it must also be marked with lockspits cut in the direction of the boundary from each corner and angle or, if an obstacle exists at a corner or angle, with a suitable reference mark near that corner or angle.
(3) On unfenced boundaries, the pegs and lockspits, or marks and lockspits, must be placed at intervals of not more than 200 metres, except where one peg or mark can be seen from the next. In that case, the distance can be increased to a maximum of 500 metres. The survey plan must show the type and position of any line mark so placed.
(4) Unless environmental considerations dictate otherwise, an unfenced boundary must be reasonably cleared and any tree that has a trunk diameter greater than 100mm and is within 500mm of the unfenced boundary must be blazed or, if situated on any boundary, must be double blazed.
(5) The surveyor must connect or place and connect at least 2 reference marks for each parcel shown on the survey plan in selected positions suitable for redefinition of the survey.
(6) If a boundary (other than a road frontage) of the land exceeds 2,400 metres, a surveyor must place additional reference marks along the boundary at intervals of not more than 1,500 metres.
(7) If a boundary required to be marked is a road frontage, a surveyor must place reference marks in accordance with clause 37 (5).
(8) This clause does not apply to a survey referred to in clause 18 (Surveys for easement purposes only).
(9) In this clause, to "blaze" and to "double blaze" a tree means to mark the tree with cuts in the approved manner.
