Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1 |
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Release 12.0. This unit supersedes and is equivalent to CPPSIS5051 Apply land and planning law to surveying. |
Application
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to apply land and planning law to surveying property title boundaries. It includes marking out urban structures and identifying urban lots and related improvements using cadastral surveying methods and equipment. The unit also includes compiling reports and sketches for submission to an approving authority as part of a development application.
This unit is suitable for skilled surveying technicians and skilled spatial information system (SIS) technicians who use a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to analyse information and provide solutions to sometimes complex surveying/spatial information problems.
Surveying and spatial information skills are applied in a range of industry contexts, including town planning, civil construction, mining, engineering, health, agriculture and defence.
All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, in accordance with relevant state/territory regulations that govern surveying work, as well as work health and safety (WHS) legislation and regulations that apply to the workplace.
Cadastral surveying must be undertaken under the supervision of a registered surveyor. Users must check with the relevant regulatory state/territory authority before delivery.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe what needs to be done to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
||
1 |
Determine survey requirements. |
1.1 |
Conduct a search on legislative requirements to obtain survey information relating to boundary dimensions, design information, land title information and topographic features. |
1.2 |
Locate survey marks from survey plan and establish position of parcel of land corners. |
||
1.3 |
Mark the boundary with offset lines and use line marks on long or obstructed boundaries as required. |
||
1.4 |
Use monumented and non-monumented occupations to establish an azimuth parallel to street boundary. |

2 |
Meet local and state/territory government regulatory requirements. |
2.1 |
Meet re-mark survey and siting requirements for local government area. |
2.2 |
Adhere to relevant survey regulations relating to supervision and accuracy of surveys, field procedures, and survey searching. |
||
2.3 |
Prepare field notes according to legislative requirements. |
||
3 |
Mark-out and calculate identification survey. |
3.1 |
Establish azimuth and calculate boundaries using occupations and monuments or reference marks. |
3.2 |
Calculate position of improvements in relation to boundaries using industry-accepted methods. |
