respecting the subject land and the adjacent lands and shall take special care
that his survey does not include any land other than
the subject
land.
Occupation by any other person to
be surveyed
5. In the case of land which is being surveyed for the
purpose of application for first registration under the Land and Titles Act, a
registered Land Surveyor shall take due care to survey and record any part of

parcel of land shall be based on or connected to the Universal Transverse
Mercator System of Coordinated Stations,
unless such parcel of land is situated
more than three miles from the nearest co-ordinated station, or this requirement
is expressly
dispensed with by the
Surveyor-General.
Determination of True
North and latitude
7. When the survey of any parcel of land is not

corners unless this requirement is expressly dispensed with by the
Surveyor-General

Where a corner point of a parcel of land falls within inaccessible ground, or
where it is inadvisable to place a mark, or where
the position of an original
mark of the land under survey falls in an inaccessible place such as in a river,
stream, road reserve
or at high water mark or the like, its position with the
consent of the Surveyor-General shall be indicated on the ground by a mark
erected on the straight boundary line meeting the corner point and as near to
the corner point as is consistent with its permanency,
and the distance between
such indicatory mark and the corner point shall be recorded on the plan by means
of an inset.
Size and type of boundary
marks to be approved

or other drawing material
the size and quality of which has been approved by the

rejected. A plan shall be a most complete record of survey showing the distances
and bearings of all boundary and survey lines. Each
parcel of land depicted on
the plan shall be edged in varying colours to avoid doubt. The plan shall face
north and a north point
or Universal Transverse Mercator Grid Lines shall be
given on the plan. Lettering, area of each parcel of land, boundary lines and
the bearings and distances of boundary lines shall be written in approved black
ink; other data shall be written in approved red
ink.
