(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.
