(1) A licensed surveyor must ensure that—
(a) the internal closure of any cadastral survey is such that the length of the misclose vector does not exceed—
(i) 15 millimetres + 100 parts per million of the perimeter for boundaries crossing level or undulating land; and
(ii) 15 millimetres + 150 parts per million of the perimeter for boundaries crossing steep or mountainous land; and
(b) the misclose vector is determined as √(a 2 + b 2 ) where "a" is the misclose in eastings and "b" is the misclose in northings; and
(c) all lengths are measured or determined to an accuracy of 10 millimetres + 60 parts per million.
Penalty: 10 penalty units.
(2) For the purposes of sub-regulation (1)(a)—
(a) "level land" means land where slopes do not exceed 3 degrees; and
(b) "undulating land" means land where slopes vary between 3–10 degrees; and
(c) "steep land" means land where slopes vary between 10–15 degrees; and
(d) "mountainous land" means land where slopes exceed 15 degrees.
(3) A licensed surveyor must ensure that all directional and angular measurements are verified.
Penalty: 5 penalty units.
(4) If a cadastral survey requires the definition of a boundary to be related to Australian Height Datum a licensed surveyor must ensure that all vertical measurements are made and tested to the standard of precision set out in regulation 16(3) of the Survey Co-ordination Regulations 2004.
Penalty: 5 penalty units.
(5) In making measurements to determine the location of boundaries to be defined on a plan by reference to buildings or parts of buildings for which no dimensions are to be shown, a limit of error of 50 millimetres in any one measurement or one part in two hundred (whichever is greater) is allowable.
(6) In determining adopted dimensions of a parcel, a licensed surveyor may eliminate any closing discrepancies.
