(1) A surveyor must,
before carrying out a cadastral survey, obtain all information—
(a) that
is likely to provide evidence of the boundaries of the land to be surveyed;
and
(b) that
is reasonably accessible.
(2) A surveyor must,
in carrying out a cadastral survey—
(a)
locate all existing survey marks, reference marks, improvements and natural
features likely to provide evidence of the boundaries of the land; and
(b)
connect the survey to all existing surveys of land in the vicinity likely to
provide evidence of the boundaries of the land by connecting to such existing
survey marks or reference marks on surveys lodged in the Lands Titles
Registration Office; and
(c) if
significant differences in the data from an existing survey are
revealed—carry out such further work as may be necessary to establish
whether or not the difference results from an error in measurement in the
existing survey, the placement or acceptance of the survey mark in the
existing survey or the siting of the improvement.
