Surveyor's reports (SSIR 2024)

For all surveys completed in accordance with the Surveying and Spatial Information Regulation 2017, please refer to this page.

Section 77 Surveying and Spatial Information Regulation 2024 states:

'A doubt or difficulty encountered in a land survey must be disclosed in a comprehensive report lodged with the formal land survey plan.’

All survey plans which define a natural feature boundary in accordance with section 40 or 41 of the Surveying and Spatial Information Regulation 2024 must be accompanied by a comprehensive report about the surveyor's definition of the boundary.

To assist in plan examination and eliminate delays from unnecessary requisitions, surveyors should upload survey reports directly to NSW LRS Connect. All reports are kept on file in Titling and Plan Services, NSW LRS and connected to the plan following lodgment.

Surveyors should:

  • Lodge the report with the plan and accompanying administration sheets using NSW LRS Connect,
  • Address the report, clearly showing the surveyor’s plan reference number, to:

Manager, Titling and Plan Services
NSW Land Registry Services
Level 30, 175 Liverpool Street
Sydney NSW 2000

  • add the notation 'Report' adjacent to the Surveyor’s Reference on the original plan to ensure the report is connected to the case following lodgment

NOTE: Reports should be drafted in a professional manner and can be made available, on request, to other surveyors.
