### sec.126 Plan of surface land
The site senior executive for a surface mine must ensure the mine has a plan, complying with this section, of its surface land.
The scale of a hard copy of the plan must be 1:2500.
The plan’s reference grid must use GDA as its basis or a grid that can be cross-referenced to GDA by information stated on the plan.
The information about the mine shown on the plan must include the following—
the mine’s boundaries;
the boundaries of the following—
any road, railway, power line or other type of reserve or easement on the surface within the mine’s boundaries;
any creek, river, watercourse, lake, sea, dam or other possible inrush source on the surface within the mine’s boundaries or on land adjacent to the mine;
the location of any artificial structures on the surface within the mine’s boundaries;
the contours of the reduced levels of the mine workings floor at intervals, of not more than 5m, as are necessary to show potential hazards at the mine;
the final extent and datum level of the limits of the excavation.
The site senior executive must ensure at least 1 copy of the plan kept at the mine is drawn on a transparency so the plan can be overlaid on the plan of any underground mine workings.
