In force

39 Erecting boundary markers

(1) The relevant person must erect a boundary marker at each corner of the survey area and in the angle of at least 2 trenches:

(a) that clearly indicate the direction of the boundary of the survey area; and

(b) each of which must be at least 1 m in length and 150 mm in width and depth.

(2) However, if it is impracticable to cut trenches because of the nature of the ground, the relevant person must place a row of stones, at least 1 m in length and 150 mm in width and height, to indicate the boundary.

(3) In addition, if it is impracticable to erect a boundary marker at an actual corner of the survey area (for example, because of the presence of water), the relevant person must:

(a) instead, erect the boundary marker on the boundary line as near as possible to the corner; and

(b)

mark the boundary marker with:

(i) the letters "W.P." (denoting "Witness Post"); and

(ii)

the distance in metres to the corner; and

(iii)

the direction to the corner.

(4) If the relevant person is surveying a survey area that has the same boundary corner as a related area of land, the relevant person may erect only one boundary marker at the corner.

(5) For subregulation (4), a related area of land is land for which the relevant person:

(a) has made, or is making, an application for the grant of a mineral title; or

(b)

holds a mineral title; or

(c)

holds an access authority.
