SURVEYING (CADASTRAL SURVEYS) REGULATIONS 2005 (SR NO 56 OF 2005) - REG 7

Classification and accuracy of surveys

    (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.
