if it is a strata scheme, identify the nature and extent of any part of a wall or building or material attached to a wall or building that encroaches on land outside the parcel and —

if an encroachment is to be controlled and managed as if it were common property, specify that fact; and

if an encroachment is to be subject to an easement, specify that easement.

A scheme plan, or an amendment of a scheme plan, for a strata titles scheme may also —

restrict the purposes for which the whole or a part of the parcel may be used (a restricted use condition); and

in the case of an amendment —

easements and restrictive covenants created under the Transfer of Land Act 1893 Part IVA;

for a survey‑strata scheme, delineate different areas of common property and allocate a reference number (being a unique series of numbers or letters or both numbers and letters) to those areas.

A scheme plan, or an amendment of a scheme plan, for a strata titles scheme —

may consist of multiple plans, drawings and documents containing descriptions or other matters; and

must be in the approved form; and

must be prepared and certified by a licensed surveyor (except for an amendment that relates only to a restricted use condition or temporary common property and does not involve any aspect of survey).

A licensed surveyor must comply with the regulations and Transfer of Land Act requirements in preparing and certifying a scheme plan, or an amendment of a scheme plan, for a strata titles scheme.
