Surveyor's reports (SSIR 2017)

For all survey's completed in accordance with the Surveying and Spatial Information Regulation 2024, please refer to this page.

Clause 68(1) Surveying and Spatial Information Regulation 2017 states:

'A surveyor must disclose any doubt, discrepancy or difficulty suggested by or encountered in a survey, either on the survey plan or in an accompanying comprehensive report.'

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

Surveyors should:

  • send 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

  • advise the client and/or the lodging agent of the existence of the report. Reference to the report should also be shown on the plan lodgment form.

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