"Every one who wilfully pulls down, defaces, alters or removes anything planted or set up as the boundary line or part of the boundary line of land is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction."


Survey monuments can be iron bars, plastic bars, rock plugs, rock posts, concrete pins, cut crosses in stone or concrete, This Monument Brochure shows some of the monuments you might find. Protect the monuments that define your boundaries. Geographic coordinates or coordinates from a map projection may appear on plans but do not replace the need for monuments and are not better evidence of a boundary location than original monuments in their original location.

Original monuments in their original location are the best avaiable evidence of the location of a boundary. Surveyors set monuments to define boundaries and to help define coordinate systems.
