66 Showing natural features on formal land survey plans
(1) A formal land survey plan that shows a natural feature or natural feature boundary must—
(a) describe the natural feature, and
(b) indicate a natural feature or natural feature boundary by a spline curve that generally follows the position of the feature or boundary, and
(c) if a natural feature boundary adopted under section 41 differs from the position of the natural feature—indicate the position of the boundary and the natural feature, and
(d) include a table of sequential bearings and distances to show each change in direction of the natural feature or natural feature boundary, and
(e) show the connection between terminals of the natural feature for each lot, and
(f) if a boundary mark has been inserted in accordance with section 49—show the distance from the mark to the natural feature, and
(g) show the description and relationship of the natural feature boundary to sea walls, reclaimed land, jetties, boat ramps, slip rails or other structures, and
(h) show the extent of encroachments on adjoining land that are reasonably ascertainable, and
(i) if the middle line of non-tidal waters forms a boundary of land, or must otherwise be defined—show both banks and the middle line.
(2) In this section—
spline curve means a continuous curve—
(a) constructed to pass through a given set of points, and
(b) with continuous first and second derivatives.
