Check Parcel Geometry


VR063 - Parcel Area


Example Messages

  • Parcel area is not specified for parcel "6\PS123456"
  • Parcel area of "31.00"m2 specified for parcel "E1" is not within tolerance of calculated area "31.33"m2. Tolerance is to the nearest 0.1 square metre.

Rule Description

Created and extinguished Lots, Stage Lots, Roads and Reserves must have area measurement. Existing Lots and Stage Lots in a Boundary Plan must have area measurement. Geometry easements linked to created and extinguished non-geometry easements must have area measurement. The area must match the calculated area from the parcel dimensions within the specified tolerance. Area is not required for multipart parcel if all its parts have areas defined. Rule does not apply to parcels containing irregular line(s).
Rule is skipped for parcels containing a building boundary.

VR064 - Part Parcel Area Sum


Example Messages

  • Parcel area "80"m2 of parcel "5\PS123456" does not match the sum of the parts of "98"m2. Required precision is correct to the nearest 0.1 square metre.

Rule Description

If area is defined for a multipart parcel, the sum of area from all its part parcels must match the stated total area with within the specified tolerance. Same precision requirement from VR063 - Parcel Area based on the area of the multipart parcel. Rule is not applicable for plans without multipart parcel. Also, it does not apply to non-geometry easements.

VR065 - Multiple Area by Deduction


Example Messages

  • The plan has multiple parcels with deduced area, a manual check is required.

Rule Description

If there is more than one subject parcel with deduced area then a manual check is required. Parcels with deduced areas are identified as parcels being referenced by pclRef in the deduced area annotation. Rule does not apply to non-surveyed plans.

VR066 - Area by Deduction in Surveyed Plans


Example Messages

  • The area of new parcels "1\PS123456" must not specify deduced area in a surveyed plan. Invalid combined use of 'Parcel with Area by Deduction' annotation and survey type 'surveyed'.

Rule Description

Surveyed plans must not include any created parcel with deduced area. Parcels with deduced areas are identified as parcels being referenced by pclRef in the deduced area annotation. Survey types: computed = Non-Survey; surveyed = Survey; compiled = Partial Survey. Rule does apply to non-surveyed and partial plans.

VR067 - Area by Deduction


Example Messages

  • The extinguished parcel "2\PS123465" does not have an area.
  • The sum of the area of all new parcels 300m2 does not equal to the area of cancelled (extinguished) parcels 303m2. Required precision is correct to the nearest square metre.

Rule Description

If area of a new primary parcel is a deduced area then:

  • The extinguished parcel must have an area in the ePlan CIF
  • The sum of all areas of new primary parcels must equate to the area(s) of all extinguished parcel(s) within tolerance. This rule is only applied for single deduced area; if there are two or more areas defined by deduction then VR065 - Multiple Area by Deduction. Same tolerance is applied from VR063 - Parcel Area. Rule does not apply to surveyed plans.

VR068 - Parcel Dimensions Exist


Example Messages

  • Line between "CGPNT-24" to"CGPNT-9" in parcel "1\PS123456" does not have an associated dimension.
  • Boundary lines for "2\PS616582" cross over. Line 1 "CGPNT-7" to "CGPNT-9" (b=56°20'0", d=12.1) and Line 2 "CGPNT-8" to "CGPNT-4" (b=188°39'50", d=24.2) cross over.

Rule Description

Lines used in each parcel geometry must be fully dimensioned, (i.e. bearing & distance) and must not cross over other lines within the parcel. Natural boundary and building boundary do not require measured dimensions. Rule is applied to all created and extinguished parcels, easements, existing abutting road and crown parcels. Rule does not apply to building boundaries.

VR004 - Parcel Geometry Exists


VR069 - Parcel Geometry Closure


Example Messages

  • Parcel "1\PS123456" line work does not close. Start point of each line, curve, or irregular line must be the same as the end point of the previous line, curve or irregular line. The last line of the parcel must also connect to its first line.

Rule Description

All Lines used in parcel CoordGeom must close. This rule applies to all created and extinguished parcels and easements of all state.

VR004 - Parcel Geometry Exists


VR070 - Irregular Lines in Parcel Manual Check


Example Messages

  • Parcel area and closure validation have not been applied to parcel(s) "9\PS123456" as these parcel(s) contain irregular boundaries. Manual check is required to ensure consistency of created parcels to title boundaries.

Rule Description

If any irregular lines are used in parcels, flag them for attention. Irregular lines are often used to represent a feature such as water creeks. They do not provide enough spatial information to perform the following checks: VR063 - Parcel Area and VR071 - Parcel Observations Closure


VR071 - Parcel Observations Closure


Example Messages

  • Parcel "1\PS123456" miscloses by 20 mm. Allowable tolerance is 15.06 mm.

Rule Description

All parcel geometries are expected to "close" within the allowable tolerances defined in Regulation 7 of Surveying (Cadastral Surveys) Regulations 2005. This rule applies to all closed parcels in the ePlan file, regardless of plan dealing type, parcel state (eg created, existing) and parcel class (eg, lot, road, easement). Rule does not apply to parcels containing irregular line(s) or boundaries defined by buildings.

Precondition

VR068 - Parcel Dimensions Exist
VR069 - Parcel Geometry Closure


VR072 - Title Boundary Consistency


Example Messages

  • The outer title boundary of created and cancelled (extinguished) parcels does not match.
  • There are fewer bends in created parcels than cancelled (extinguished) parcels.
  • Unable to determine outer boundary of "1\PS123456", "2\PS123456" parcels.
  • Created parcel corners are not within tolerance of title boundaries.

Rule Description

The outer boundary of created primary parcels must be coincident with the outer boundary of extinguished parcels.

VR117 - Overlapping Parcels


Example Messages

  • Created primary parcels are not allowed to overlap.
  • Part parcels may not overlap other part parcels that are linked to the same MultiPart parcel.
  • Existing primary parcels in a Boundary Plan are not allowed to overlap.
  • Part parcels may not overlap other part parcels that are linked to the same MultiPart parcel in a Boundary Plan.

Rule Description

  • Created primary parcels including "Part" parcels from the same created "MultiPart" parcel must not overlap each other.
  • Existing "Part" parcels that link to the same "MultiPart" parcel must not overlap.
  • Existing primary parcels including "Part" parcels from the same created "MultiPart" parcel in a Boundary Plan must not overlap each other.
  • Existing "Part" parcels that link to the same "MultiPart" parcel in a Boundary Plan must not overlap.

VR142 - Centre Point for Arc Observation


Example Message

  • Arc Observation "OBS-5" has different centre points "CGPNT-310, CGPNT-299" in Parcels "S2\PS842689, R3\PS842689".

Rule Description

Any Arc Observation which is used in multiple parcels must have only one centre point.
