63 Showing boundaries on formal land survey plans
(1) A formal land survey plan must show the following—
(a) sufficient information to connect all survey marks shown on the plan by bearing and distance,
(b) for permanent survey marks—
(i) connections from the land surveyed to a permanent survey mark by closed loop, and
(ii) direct lines between adjacent permanent survey marks in a closed loop, and
(iii) connections to separate corners of the land surveyed from each adjacent permanent survey mark,
(c) for each bench mark—
(i) accurate MGA coordinates determined in accordance with section 25(1), or
(ii) if the bench marks are used for height only—MGA coordinates determined in accordance with section 25(2),
(d) connections, by direct lines, from each bench mark to the land surveyed,
(e) if the angular work is checked by comparing the angular work to established survey marks—the comparison,
(f) the complete dimensions, including bearings, distances and area, of each parcel of land surveyed, including roads being created or redefined in the plan,
(g) if the survey defines a road, a road frontage or an intersection of roads—the following, determined in accordance with section 39—
(i) the alignment of each affected road,
(ii) the connections across each road,
(h) if the land surveyed is a parcel located wholly within another parcel and that does not intersect with a boundary of that parcel—at least 2 connections from different corners of the inner parcel to different corners of the outer parcel,
(i) the nature of the boundaries, including whether a boundary is defined by—
(i) survey marks, or
(ii) lockspits, or
(iii) a natural feature, or
