Survey evidence
11 Survey evidence
A surveyor must, before carrying out a cadastral survey, obtain all information—
that is likely to provide evidence of the boundaries of the land to be surveyed; and
that is reasonably accessible.
A surveyor must, in carrying out a cadastral survey—
locate all existing survey marks, reference marks, improvements and natural features likely to provide evidence of the boundaries of the land;
and
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
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.
