Example 5 – Building Subdivision (land unlimited in height and depth) November 2013 Press ESC to close header Introduction This document provides guidance on the preparation of a plan under section 22 of the Subdivision Act 1988, which includes boundaries defined by buildings. This example incorporates the Subdivision (Registrar’s Requirements) Regulations 2011 that commenced on 8 October 2011. Key elements for preparing a plan that contains boundaries defined by buildings Note: some of the points below are referenced on the pages that follow. 1. The default method of identifying boundaries defined by buildings is a thick continuous line – as indicated by regulation 11(3)(a). 2. The location of boundaries defined by buildings must be shown on the first sheet of the plan. 3. The extent and location of each and every boundary defined by a building must be identifiable on the plan. 4. When adopting thick continuous lines to define building boundaries, thick lines must not be used on the external boundaries of the plan. 5. Except in the instance where a boundary is defined by a building on a previous registered plan, building boundaries are not to be shown on the external boundaries of the plan – as indicated by regulation 11(12). 6. Only the extent of the buildings or ‘returns’ are to be shown on the plan – not the whole building footprint. 7. The depiction of any structure on a plan that is not a parcel boundary must differ significantly to that of an easement – as indicated by regulation 11(2). 8. If the extent of a dimension that intersects a building is not clear a notation should be placed on the plan to clarify. 9. Brackets are required on dimensions that are ‘through distances’ e.g. dimensions that penetrate easements. 10. The line work for small dimensions (e.g. offsets from a building boundary to the external boundary of the plan) should be exaggerated to aid the reproduction of the title diagram at size A4. 11. When any boundary of a parcel is defined by reference to a building, the area of that parcel is not to be shown.
