(2) No printing, writing or other notation (other than directions or notations authorised by the Registrar-General) must appear in, or extend into, the margin.
(1) Unless the Registrar-General otherwise approves, all words must be in the English language, and all letters, figures and symbols appearing on a plan must be in a font style that is:(a) dense and black in colour, and(b) in upper case only (except as otherwise provided by this Schedule), and(c) open in formation and construction, and(d) in an upright style.

(1) Bearings must not be shown on any plan sheet unless they form part of permitted survey information.
(2) Angular relationships must be established by linear dimensions and rectangular offsets only, and not by use of angular dimensions, except in the case of an angular dimension of 90°, which may be shown as such on a floor plan.
There must be a statement on each sheet of the reduction ratio at which the plan is drawn.
(1) A location plan must contain sufficient information to define the site of:(a) any easement, profit à prendre, restriction or positive covenant that is intended to be created as a consequence of the registration of the plan and that affects common property not within a building, and(b) any easement or profit à prendre intended to be partially released as a consequence of the registration of the plan, and(c) any proposed easement (other than an easement referred to in paragraph (a) or (b)), profit à prendre, restriction or positive covenant, or proposed variation or partial release of an easement or profit à prendre, that affects common property not within a building,and, where necessary, contain sufficient information to indicate the relationship of any such easement, profit à prendre, restriction or positive covenant to the boundaries of any affected parcel or lot.
(2) A floor plan must contain sufficient information to define the site of:(a) any easement, profit à prendre, restriction or positive covenant intended to be created as a consequence of the registration of the plan that affects a lot in the plan or common property within a building, and(b) any proposed easement over a lot in the plan or common property within a building.
(3) If a proposed easement is in respect of an existing tunnel, pipe, conduit, wire or other similar object which is underground or is within or beneath an existing building, it is sufficient to indicate on the location plan or floor plan (as the case may be) the approximate position of the easement.
(1) A location plan must:(a) contain sufficient information to define the site, nature and origin of any existing easement, profit à prendre, restriction or positive covenant affecting a parcel, and(b) wherever possible, show the relationship of the easement, profit à prendre, restriction or positive covenant to the boundaries of the parcel.
(2) If an easement is in respect of an existing tunnel, pipe, conduit, wire or other similar object which is underground or is within or beneath an existing building, it is sufficient to indicate on the location plan the approximate position of the easement.
(3) A floor plan may show sufficient information to define the site of an existing easement that is located within a building if the Registrar-General agrees that the enjoyment of the easement would be reliant on its position being shown in such a manner.
(4) In this clause:
"origin", in relation to an existing easement, means the Gazette reference or registration number of the instrument or plan by which the easement was granted, reserved, notified or otherwise created.
The plan drawing sheets are not to show any signatures or seals.
Note: All signatures and seals must be shown on the administration sheet.
