Introduction
This document provides guidance on
the preparation of a plan under section
22 of the Subdivision Act 1988, which
refers to boundaries defined by
buildings, where the parcels are
limited in height and depth and the use
of cross-sections is necessary.
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 with cross-sections.
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 boundary is not clear a notation
should be placed on the plan to clarify.
9. When any boundary of a parcel is defined by
reference to a building, the area of that
parcel is not to be shown.
10. A cross-section is required when parcels are
situated above or below each other – as
indicated by regulation 11(5).
11. Vinculums are only to be used in plan view to
identify changes in upper and lower
(horizontal) boundaries. Vinculums are no
longer used in cross-sections.
12. Where boundaries are defined by projections
of buildings, a thick broken line must be used
– as indicated by regulation 11(9).
