1.3 Unusual cases:
While these Directions lay out specifications for dealing with surveys and plans, it should be understood that they are not inflexible and, given sufficient reason, they may be varied in special cases. Where such a variation is permitted, it may not be taken as a precedent for any cases that may follow at a later date.
Surveyors are encouraged to discuss these cases with the Department at an early stage in the development process so that delays in registration may be minimised.
