The applicant sought to confirm the true location of a boundary between two quarter lots under the Boundaries Act.
The applicant's surveyor relied on the remains of an old page wire fence as the best evidence of the original boundary, which was consistent with a 1971 survey.
The objectors argued that the boundary should be determined by the mathematically calculated midline of the concession, which differed from the fence line by approximately 16.39 metres.
The Deputy Director of Titles allowed the application, applying the hierarchy of evidence to conclude that the old fence constituted the best available evidence of the original running of the boundary on the ground, rather than modern mathematical measurements.
