Elements and Performance Criteria
- Determine survey requirements and azimuth.
- Relevant information is gathered to determine survey requirements in consultation with appropriate persons.
- Survey marks are located as indicated on survey plan.
- Position of parcel of land corners is established from identified survey marks.
- Right on boundary or parallel azimuth is established.
- Monumented and non-monumented occupations are used to establish an azimuth parallel to street boundary.
- Assumed azimuth is adopted to enable completion of field survey, and subsequent calculations and adjustments to swing onto azimuth are made.
- Azimuth derived from marks at opposite extremities of survey is calculated.
- Relationship between alignment marks, kerb lines, kerb as laid, and occupations is interpreted when azimuth is fixed using alignment marks, kerbs and occupations shown in alignment plans.
- Undertake mark-out survey and fix front and rear corners, angles and line marks.
- Azimuth is established by direct or indirect means and front corners of allotment are fixed.
- Side fix is established for the allotment using occupations, and monuments or reference marks.
- Direct methods are used to establish positions of rear corners.
- Traverse and calculations from street azimuth and side fix are made to set out rear corners by indirect means.
- Requirement to use line marks on long or obstructed boundaries is identified.
- Suitable checking procedure to validate positioning of all placed marks is identified and followed.
- Meet local government building requirements.
- Re-mark surveys and local government siting requirements for the issue of building certificate are met.
- Relevant survey regulations relating to supervision and accuracy of surveys, field procedures, and survey searching are adhered to.
- Field notes are prepared according to organisational requirements and legal and statutory standards.
- Calculate identification survey.
- Prepare draft survey report and sketches.
