Supporting documentation

• Photographs showing the current structures and area below the mean high-water mark.  The photos should be recent and taken so as to show the whole frontage and all structures presumed to be on public land. They should be taken at high tide and at low tide, and from offshore—if practicable—facing the property and similarly from onshore facing the water. If a boatshed forms part of the occupation, several photos of the interior are also required. 
• A copy of a recent identification survey that is no older than two years, prepared by a registered surveyor.  The survey plan must plot to scale and detail the dimensions and the type of all existing structures, including any reclaimed area and any free-standing piles below the mean high-water mark. The survey is to specifically show the position of the deed mean high water mark in relation to the registered deposited plan boundaries. Please include the calculated areas for each structure / area below the mean high-water mark.
