ALL SURVEYORS
Depiction of Boundary Dimensions - Marine Farm Leases
Recent agreement between the Office of the Surveyor General and the Marine Resources Division of the Department of Primary Industry & Fisheries concluded that boundary dimensions be depicted on plans of Marine Farm Leases.
In future could you please ensure that survey notes, as well as showing
AMG MGA coordinates on all corners, depict boundary dimensions described by
AMG MGA bearings and spheroidal or sea level distances.
Also, please ensure mathematical consistency between the calculated dimensions and the depicted
AMG MGA co-ordinates in that the bearing and distance should correctly compute in accordance with the co-ordinate values given.
All existing plans have been converted to this format by this Office.

Acting Surveyor General
