Record an old mark with no record

Record an old boundary mark with no record

Where you find a boundary mark which isn’t recorded in Landonline or an approved Cadastral Survey Dataset (CSD), consider this mark as new to the cadastre. 

Capture the mark as a new boundary mark:

• give it a unique mark name
• remember to detail it in the survey report. 

You can also add a note such as ‘Old peg no record’ or ‘Old spike no record’ to the mark Description.
