(1) This section applies to a survey carried out to redefine or subdivide land that—
(a) adjoins—
(i) Crown managed land, or
(ii) a Crown road, and
(b) fronts on to a natural feature.
(2) If the boundary between the land being surveyed and the adjoining land has not previously been defined by survey, a surveyor must define the boundary by straight lines approximately parallel to the position of the natural feature, as originally defined.
Note—
See section 30 in relation to surveys to define a boundary that has previously been surveyed.
