7. Plan formats:

- Standard Format Plans create parcels that are of two dimensions at ground level and are unlimited in height and depth. Parcels are defined by surveyed dimensions and marks placed on the ground.
- Building Format Plans create parcels within structures. Parcels are defined and limited by floors, walls and ceilings, other than in special cases as noted in Direction 9.
- Volumetric Format Plans create parcels that are fully enclosed by bounding surfaces. Parcels may be above, below, or partly above and partly below ground surface and are defined by surveyed dimensions and levels.
- Explanatory format plans (see Direction 20).
It is not permissible to create parcels of different format types on the same plan, other than in the case of easements and the remainder lot on Volumetric and Building Format plans. (See Directions 6, 9.3.2 and 10.2.4).
Plans of all formats may cancel a base parcel containing multiple lots of the same format. (However, see Direction 9.16). There is no requirement to amalgamate a number of lots prior to a survey of land for a Community Titles Scheme.
Each format uses the same plan forms, but the requirements for presentation differ for each format. These requirements are detailed in Directions 8, 9 and 10.
