SURVEYING REGULATION 2001 - REG 37

37 Placement of reference marks for roads

(1) If a surveyor makes a survey for the purpose of the creation, redefinition or widening of a road under any Act, the surveyor must place reference marks in the positions prescribed by this clause and must show the type and location of the reference marks in the plan of the survey.

(2) If the survey is an urban survey, reference marks must be placed:

(a) at the junction or intersection of roads:

(i) if a triangle is cut off from the corner formed by the intersection of the road boundaries, so as to refer to either end of the base line of the triangle, or

(ii) if the corner is rounded off, so as to refer to either tangent point, or

(iii) if the corner is not cut off or rounded off, so as to refer to the point of intersection of the road boundaries, and

(b) at the terminals of a road, and

(c) as far as is practicable, on the same side of the road, and

(d) if placed in a road that is variable in width, with connections made to both sides of the road, and

(e) at each angle and each tangent point or terminal of a series of chords of a regular curve in a road.

(3) The requirement of subclause (2) (e) is subject to the condition that a reference mark need not be placed within 30 metres of another reference mark.

Note: Clause 35 (a) provides that in any urban survey, if the land abuts a road, the survey must have a reference mark at each extremity of the land and at intervals of not more than 100 metres throughout the length of the road frontage of the survey where there are intervening side boundaries.

(4) If a reference mark placed in accordance with this clause consists of a drill hole and wing and is to be placed in a concrete kerb cast in situ, there must be 2 such marks.

(5) If the survey is a rural survey, reference marks must be placed so as to refer to the terminals of the road surveyed, to each junction or intersection of any roads and in pairs suitable for orientation purposes throughout the whole length of the road in selected positions so that the maximum distance between any 2 successive reference marks does not exceed 1,000 metres.

(6) If a road being created joins or intersects an existing road and reference marks have already been placed in the existing road in accordance with this clause or with any Act or any instrument made under an Act, those marks must be connected by survey with the reference marks placed in the road being created and the orientation of one series of reference marks must be compared with the orientation of the other series of reference marks and the comparison shown on the survey plan.
