### sec.12 Boundary locations
The plan of survey for a cadastral survey must, for a parcel of land surveyed—
describe and show the location of each existing boundary of the land; and
if the survey is carried out for registering an interest in the land—describe and show each boundary of the land the subject of the interest.
A boundary of land is shown on the plan by recording—
all of the following things used as reference points for the survey—
permanent improvements on the land;
existing survey marks;
survey marks placed in carrying out the survey; and
the length and direction of the boundary.
A boundary of land must be marked on the land in a way that a person on the land can identify the boundary.
However, subsection (3) does not apply if—
the client of the surveyor marking the boundary gives the surveyor written notice that the client does not require the boundary to be marked as required by subsection (3) ; and
the surveyor complies with the relevant survey standard when marking the boundary of land; and
the reference points used for the survey include a recognised permanent survey mark.
