Part 9: Boundary Reinstatements

Question 1

Subpart 1 Rule 112: Interpretation?

Answer 1

[112] Interpretation

In this Part, unless the context otherwise requires, boundary reinstatement survey means a survey that places 1 or more boundary marks on a boundary point or line already defined in an approved CSD and does not create a new parcel.

Question 2

Subpart 2 Rule 113: CSD must be lodged for boundary marking?

Answer 2

[113] CSD must be lodged for boundary marking

A CSD that complies with these rules must be lodged within 6 months after the placement of a boundary mark on a boundary reinstatement survey.

Question 3

Subpart 3 Rule 114: Complex boundary reinstatements and restrictions?

Answer 3

[114] Complex boundary reinstatements and restrictions

(1) A boundary reinstatement survey must not be used if the boundary point being reinstated is—
(a) on an existing water boundary, water centre-line boundary, or irregular boundary; or
(b) on a boundary of land held in a record of title that is limited as to parcels; or
(c) on a Maori land CSD that is annotated “computed plan – areas and boundaries not defined by survey”.
(2) A complex boundary reinstatement survey must be used for the reinstatement if the boundary point is—
(a) subject to conflict; or
(b) on an affected boundary as defined in rule 108; or
(c) insufficiently defined in an approved CSD to enable compliance with the applicable accuracy standard to be determined; or
(d) defined on a diagram on transfer.
(3) A complex boundary reinstatement survey must comply with rules 16 and 18 to 37 and its CSD must comply with rules 71 to 91.
(4) All other boundary reinstatement surveys may be recorded on a simple boundary reinstatement CSD as specified in subparts 4 and 5.
(5) The decision tree set out below* illustrates where complex and simple boundary reinstatement surveys can be used, along with their specific requirements.

Question 4

Subpart 4 Rule 115: Horizontal datum: orientation?

Answer 4

[115] Horizontal datum: orientation

(1) A bearing in a simple boundary reinstatement survey does not have to be oriented in terms of an official projection applicable to the area.
(2) Every bearing in a boundary reinstatement CSD must be expressed in terms of the same horizontal projection.

Question 5
