Section 6.1.2 of the Practice Directives stipulates the currency requirements for surveys.
Abstract of Field Records
If an Abstract of Field Records is updated to meet the ‘currency conditions’, for example, to describe minor changes to occupation or survey marks that have been destroyed since the date of survey, the updated abstract of field records must bear the following notation in the ‘Amendments’ text box:
AMENDMENTS |
This abstract of field records correctly represents the occupation and features existing on [insert date], and the survey has been brought up to date |
Licensed Surveyors Report
The Licensed Surveyors Report should include a statement confirming the survey is not more than two years old.
Alternatively if the survey exceeds two years the licensed surveyor must adhere to the requirements of Section 6.1.2 of the Practice Directives:
CURRENCY: A statement to the effect that the survey is not more than two years old.
OR
If the survey exceeds two years of age, the licensed surveyor must attest to the conditions set out in section 6.1.2 of
the VCSPD.
