| Mark | Form or style of mark | Requirements for placement and use of mark |
| Peg | Peg of sound durable hardwood or white cypress pine pointed for about
two-thirds of its length. Rural surveys --At least 450mm long and not less than 75mm by 75mm nominal section at the top end. Urban surveys --At least 350mm long and not less than 75mm by 35mm nominal section at the top end. | • The centre of the top of a peg must represent the survey point except that, if conditions prevent the correct centring of a peg, the survey point may be represented by a non-corrodible tack or nail driven into the peg.• Peg must be placed upright in the ground, point downwards, so that its top is not more than 80mm above the ground level. The earth surrounding it must be securely compacted.• If a peg projecting above the surface of the ground could be hazardous or inconvenient to the public the peg may, at the discretion of the surveyor, be placed flush with the surface of the ground. If that is done, the fact must be noted on the plan of survey.• When the depth of soil is insufficient to permit the conventional placement of a peg, then:(a) if there is sound rock, a drill hole and wing or chiselled wings must be placed in the rock, or(b) if there is no sound rock, a cairn of rocks must be built around the peg above the surface of the soil. |
| Drill hole | Drill hole of not less than 6mm in diameter and not less than 10mm deep. | • Drilled into rock, concrete or substantial structure.• If practicable, a chiselled wing must be cut and directed to the mark. |
| Non-corrodible nail | Non-corrodible nail at least 80mm long. | • Driven completely into fixed timber.• If practicable, a chiselled wing must be cut and directed to the mark. |
| Non-corrodible rod or spike | Non-corrodible rod or spike at least 150mm long. | • Only to be used if the placement of a peg is not practicable.• Driven flush to the surface. |
| Broad arrow | Broad arrow at least 80mm long, 20mm wide and 10 mm deep at the base, pointed at one end. | • Cut in rock, concrete, substantial structure or fixed timber. |
| Lockspit | A trench, or line of packed stones, not less then one metre long, 200mm wide, 150mm deep and commencing 300mm from each boundary mark. | • Dug or placed in the direction of the boundary lines.• If the type of soil renders trenches ineffective, direction stakes not less than 50mm by 30mm by 450mm may be placed in the direction of the boundary lines 4 metres distant from the corner. |
| Chiselled wing | Chiselled wing at least 80mm long, 20mm wide and 10 mm deep at the base, pointed at one end. | • Cut in rock, concrete, substantial structure or fixed timber.• Not to be used by itself as a boundary mark. |
