            (b)         a new plan to be substituted for the existing plan; and

            (e)         a certificate from a licensed surveyor in the form prescribed by regulation (which must be endorsed on the plan) certifying that the plan has been correctly prepared to a scale determined by the Registrar-General in accordance with this Act; and

            (f)         a certificate from a land valuer in the form prescribed by regulation (which must be endorsed on the schedule of lot entitlements) certifying that the schedule is correct (the Registrar-General may refuse to accept the certificate if given more than six months before the application is lodged); and

            (g)         any instrument, duly executed, that is to be registered on substitution of the plan; and

        (4)         The plan—

            (a)         must be in a form approved by the Registrar-General; and

            (b)         must divide the development lot in the manner required by the development contract; and

            (c)         must delineate the boundaries of the land and lots and common property into which the community parcel is divided in a manner that allows those boundaries to be ascertained; and

            (d)         must designate each lot by a distinguishing number; and

            (g)         must delineate the streets, roads, thoroughfares, reserves or similar open spaces (if any) that are, or will on amendment of the plan be, vested in a council or prescribed authority or that have reverted or will revert to the Crown; and

                  (i)         must comply with any requirements stipulated by the Registrar-General.

        (4b)         The certificate from the State Planning Commission under section 138 of the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 expires at the expiration of 1 year after the application was lodged with the Registrar-General unless the Registrar-General extends the life of the certificate.

the Registrar-General may substitute the plan for the plan previously deposited and the provisions of this Act relating to the deposit of a plan apply in relation to the plan.

        (6)         The Registrar-General may permit the applicant to lodge a sheet or sheets to be substituted for a sheet or sheets of the deposited plan or to be added to it instead of lodging a complete plan to be substituted for the existing plan.
