6.8 Special characteristics of land

A special characteristic of land shall be recorded where it can change the inquiry, engagement, consent, acquisition, compensation, approval or output requirements.

The record shall identify:

characteristic type and jurisdictional name;

source authority;

geographic extent and stratum, where relevant;

date or period of validity;
