| Mark | Form and style of mark | Requirements for inserting mark | | Peg | Peg of sound, durable hardwood or white cypress pine pointed for about two-thirds of its length or polycarbonate pegs.Rural land surveys—(a) for a peg used to mark the corner of the land surveyed—at least 450mm long and at least 75mm by 75mm nominal section at the top end, or(b) for a peg used to mark the boundary line of the land surveyed—at least 350mm long and at least 75mm by 35mm nominal section at the top end.Urban land surveys—for a peg used to mark the corner of the land surveyed—at least 350mm long and at least 75mm by 35mm nominal section at the top end. | The centre of the top of a peg must represent the survey point except that, if conditions prevent the correct centring of a peg, the survey point may be represented by a non-corrodible tack or nail driven into the peg.Peg must be inserted upright in the ground, point downwards, so its top is not more than 80mm above ground level. The earth surrounding it must be securely compacted.If a peg projecting above the surface of the ground could be hazardous or inconvenient to the public, the peg may, at the discretion of the surveyor, be inserted flush with the surface of the ground. If inserted that way, the fact must be noted on the survey plan. | | Drill hole | Drill hole at least 5mm wide and 10mm deep. | Drilled into rock, concrete or another substantial structure. | | Drill hole and wing | Drill hole at least 5mm wide and at least 10mm deep with a chiselled wing that is at least 80mm long, 20mm wide and 10mm deep at the base, pointed at one end. | Drilled into rock, concrete or another substantial structure. | | Nail | Non-corrodible nail at least 50mm long and 3.5mm wide. | Securely inserted into timber, rock, concrete or another substantial structure.The head of the nail must mark the corner of the land surveyed. | | Nail and wing | Non-corrodible nail at least 50mm long and 3.5mm wide with a chiselled wing that is at least 80mm long, 20mm wide and 10mm deep at the base, pointed at one end. | Securely inserted into timber, rock, concrete or another substantial structure.A chiselled wing must be cut and directed to the mark. | | Metal spike or galvanised iron pipe | Metal spike or galvanised iron pipe that is at least 300mm long and has—(a) for a solid metal spike—an external diameter of at least 20mm, or(b) for a galvanised iron pipe—an internal diameter of at least 20mm and a wall thickness of at least 2.6mm. | Inserted vertically and driven flush to the surface of the ground.Only to be used if the insertion of a peg is not practicable. | | Galvanised metal star picket | Star picket at least 300mm long. | Inserted vertically and at least flush with the surface of the ground.Only to be used if the insertion of a peg or pipe is not practicable. | | “Boundary Mark” token | A non-corrodible token at least 32mm wide and 1.5mm thick with “Boundary Mark” permanently stamped, engraved or etched on the upper surface. | Secured by a—(a) non-corrodible nail that is at least 50mm long and 3.5mm wide, or(b) non-corrodible screw or domed rivet that is at least 4.5mm in diameter and long enough to securely fix the token to the surface. | | Broad arrow | A broad arrow that—(a) comprises 3 chiselled wings that are at least 80mm long, 20mm wide and 10mm deep at the base, and(b) is pointed at one end. | Cut in rock, concrete, another substantial structure or fixed timber. | | Lockspit | A trench, or line of packed stones, that—(a) is at least 1,000mm long, 200mm wide and 150mm high, and(b) starts 300mm from each boundary mark. | Dug or inserted in the direction of the boundary lines.If the type of soil renders trenches ineffective, direction stakes at least 50mm wide, 30mm thick and 450mm long may be inserted in the direction of the boundary lines 4,000mm from the corner. | | Steel fence post | A steel fence post, excluding a star picket. | The steel fence post must be durable and installed in a permanent and stable base. |
