An X plan is the survey plan prior to it being registered as a Deposited Plan. An X plan has a unique identifier.
OSGLI will examine an X Plan once it’s lodged, and prior to becoming a DP. Once it's lodged and accepted, the digital PDF plan is allocated an X Plan number. This number aids in tracking and identification purposes. There is no connection between the X Plan number and the resulting DP number.
In the current system, registered surveyors don't sign or date the initial X Plan until the plan examination is complete. Please use extreme caution when using an unsigned X Plan.
The registered surveyor digitally signs and dates the final PDF plan after it passes the examination process. It is then digitally certified by the ACT Surveyor-General. The X Plan is now ready to become a DP. It can be utilised knowing the information is as accurate as possible.
X Plan information isn't included in the new cadastral charting layer on ACTmapi. To get the current X Plan, DP or UP number:
- click on the block to return a Feature Attributes query, or
- when in the Survey Infrastructure layer move the mouse pointer over the block for the Tool Tip to appear with a list of plans relevant to the block.
Timeframes for X Plan examinations
Changes to the X Plan should be sent to the lodging surveyor within the following timeframes:
- Greenfield plans – 10 working days
- Infill Plans – 15 working days
- Infill (Stratum) Plans – 25 working days
- Rural Plans – 30 working days
These timeframes may vary depending on:
- the type of survey,
- the number of sheets, and
- the complexity of the plan.
