Conveyancing (General) Regulation 2018

A plan of survey cannot be lodged with the Registrar-General more than 2 years after the date shown in the survey certificate as the date of completion of the survey to which the plan relates, unless the plan is accompanied by a certificate of currency.

A certificate of currency is a certificate in an approved form in which a surveyor attests to each of the following matters—

there are no changes to the boundaries of the land to which the survey relates (the subject land), and the definition of those boundaries in the plan of survey remains consistent with surrounding plans, or if not, the plan of survey has been updated,

that 2 or more of the permanent survey marks used in the survey remain in place, or if not, the plan of survey has been updated,

that all reference marks placed in respect of the survey remain in place, or if not, the reference marks have been replaced and the plan of survey has been updated,

that there has been no change to the occupations and other improvements relevant to the boundaries of the subject land since the completion of the survey, or if not, the plan of survey has been updated.

The Registrar-General may accept a certificate of currency that does not certify all the matters set out in subclause (2) if the Registrar General is satisfied that it was not reasonably practicable to do so.

A plan of survey that is updated for the purposes of subclause (2) is to be done so in accordance with the Surveying and Spatial Information Act 2002 and the regulations under that Act as in force at the time when the survey was completed.
