Record an old mark with no record

When you find a mark that’s not recorded in an approved dataset, treat it as a new survey mark.

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

Record an old boundary mark which was recorded as ‘no record’ on a previous plan

In the cadastre there are CSDs that may have recorded ‘Old peg (OP) no record’.

  • Carefully assess their evidential value and prove their positions. 
  • If you use them in the current survey refer to them as an old mark from the approved CSD that named and depicted it.

If you find the mark

If you found the boundary mark, capture it as follows. 

Make a note in the Description of which approved plan the mark came from.

Mark Name will have a unique mark number added in brackets such as [2]. This mark number is optional for boundary marks.

If you don’t find the mark

If you haven’t found the mark, capture it as Adopted.

Record a non-boundary mark which had no record

Where you find a non-boundary mark but it isn’t recorded in Landonline or on an approved CSD, this mark must also be considered as new to the cadastre. 

Capture the mark as a new non-boundary mark:

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

You can add a note in the mark Description such as ‘OIT no record’.
