The "Heavy Outline" is the most important line on a strata plan.
We dive deep into the containment rule: why a strata lot cannot exist outside its parent parcel and the technical requirements for defining building encroachments.
We discuss the surveyor's responsibility in signing the Form U and what happens when a balcony crosses the line.
Key Study Points:
The Containment Rule: Why every strata lot and common property element must stay within the horizontal and vertical limits of the parent parcel.
Form U Endorsement: The surveyor's certification that appropriate easements or interests exist for encroachments.
Horizontal vs. Vertical Boundaries: Defining 3D limits in a high-rise building strata.
The Heavy Outline: Mastering the symbolization of the external boundaries of the land being subdivided.
