  1. Measurement of Occupation

  2. Why is occupation important? • Indication of possession • Some indication of extent of ownership and therefore boundaries (if fencing related to original survey marks) • In absence of other original marks, it may form the basis of reinstatement of property boundaries, particularly in older or rural areas.

  3. Occupation • Occupation in 3 main categories: • Round Fence Post (RFP) • Square Fence Post (SFP) • Walls (when part of structure)

  4. Fence Descriptions • Materials including posts • Netting, Ringlock, 4 Barbs, ornamental • Age • Old (20+ yrs), Recent (1-5 yrs), New (1yr) • Condition • Leaning, Rotted out, Remains • Height • High, Low

  5. Walls • To avoid confusion, only use ‘wall’ when part of structure • Eg NW Cnr Brick Fence or NW Cnr Brick Wall (if part of structure) • Exception is retaining walls which should be fully described

  6. Fence Posts • Corner posts most important • Material and Shape • GIFPost, RFP, SFP, Steel FP • Age • Old (20+ yrs), Recent (1-5 yrs), New (1yr) • Condition • Remains, Leaning, Burnt, Butt

  7. Measurement to Occupation • On front boundary • RFP - Centre of post (Cen RFP) • SFP - Centre of road side face of post (Cen Face SFP) • Corner Lots - Corner of post corresponding with corner of section • Walls - Road side face or corner of the wall and specify the corner measured (NE Cnr Brick Wall) • On rear & side boundary • Measure to centre of occupation

  8. Consider recording the size of post to aid reinstatement • Check for verticality • If not vertical, ‘plumb’ the post • How?

  9. A 2A 2/3 2X R X 1/3 R Plumbing a leaning RFP

  10. Recording Occupation References • Corner information from SOM Part E2 (1.21) • Corner Marks • Original Corner Marks • New Corner Marks • Corner References • Original Reference Marks and Occupation • New Reference Marks and Occupation

  11. Occupation Referencing • Occupation referenced to main lines of the survey • Only used for corner marks and occupation • Not used for reference marks such as Reference Trees, PSMs, Iron Pins, etc • Mainly specific to Queensland • Beware skewed lines (not perpendicular) • If in doubt, show a bearing and distance
