Understanding plan of redefinition
A plan of redefinition concerns the survey definition of an existing parcel. It is different from proposing a new lot layout or moving the boundary between properties. Share the existing title, plans and the reason a redefinition has been requested so the appropriate investigation can be discussed.
SurveyWorx can review the available survey information and discuss the survey and plan preparation scope. Existing fences or occupation features should not be assumed to establish the title boundary. Tell us about any discrepancy already raised by your project or legal adviser.
Prepare your plan of redefinition enquiry
To scope your plan of redefinition enquiry, provide:
- Current title and deposited plan information
- Previous survey plans or reports available for the property
- The written request or reason for redefinition
- Details of the project, access and any identified boundary discrepancy
If you want to change a shared boundary, see boundary adjustment. If a title limitation has been identified, discuss delimitation. The correct plan purpose should follow the actual title and survey circumstances.
FAQs
Our answers to your questions.
Does redefinition let me change the lot layout?
Redefinition concerns an existing parcel rather than a proposed subdivision or boundary change. Explain your intended outcome and provide the title and plans. SurveyWorx can discuss whether redefinition, subdivision or another survey service is the appropriate enquiry.
What if the fence does not match my plan?
Provide the plan and explain the discrepancy without assuming which line is correct. Survey evidence and existing records need to be considered together. Discuss any dispute or proposed agreement with your legal adviser as well as the surveying requirements.
What should I supply before commissioning a plan of redefinition?
Share the current title and deposited plan, earlier survey information and the request from your adviser. Describe the intended project and any access constraints. The required research, survey and plan work can then be discussed as part of the quote.
