Summary

The purpose of this policy is to achieve uniformity in the production standards and presentation of plans and diagrams for conservation covenants negotiated under various acts and Walkway easements that are required to be registered on Certificates of Title.

This policy is produced to effect the subsection of the various acts that states: The document incorporating the covenant is (to be) accompanied by a certificate given on behalf of the Surveyor-General to the effect that the land is adequately described and properly defined:

1. For the nature of the covenant
2. In relation to existing surveys and 
3. In accordance with standards agreed from time to time by the Director-General (of Conservation), or the Board of the QEII National Trust (as the case may be), and the Surveyor-General.

To be able to certify that the boundary is adequately described and properly defined, the Surveyor-General must be satisfied that the boundary of the covenant is clearly depicted and capable of being redefined on the ground if and when required.
