Deposited Plan And Deposited Plan Searches

Deposited Plan and Deposited Plan Searches

Understanding Deposited Plans (DP) and how to search for them is crucial for anyone dealing with property transactions or developments. Below is a comprehensive summary of what Deposited Plans entail and how to conduct a search for them.

What is a Deposited Plan?

A Deposited Plan (DP) is a land plan that outlines the legal boundaries of a parcel of land. These plans are essential for defining subdivisions and often include details on easements and resumptions.

Key Features of a Deposited Plan:

• Boundary Dimensions: Full dimensions for each boundary.
• Boundary Nature: Defining features such as fences, roads, buildings, and walls.
• Survey Marks: Position of all survey marks to fix boundary positions.

When Do You Need a Deposited Plan?

In Australia, a DP is required in several scenarios, including:

• Selling or Buying Property: Ensures clear understanding of property boundaries.
• Creating New Land Parcels: Necessary for subdividing or dealing with existing parcels.
• Renovations: Especially when erecting new structures or buildings.
• Boundary Disputes: Provides clear legal boundaries to resolve disputes.

A registered surveyor must prepare and lodge the DP with the appropriate Land Registry Service.

Types of Plans:

1. Deposited Plans: Define legal boundaries and subdivisions.
2. Strata Plans: Relate to multiple occupancy and separate ownership of individual units (residential, commercial, etc.).
3. Community Plans: Refer to planned communities with shared land use, incorporating communal properties into subdivisions.
