151 . Crown survey boundaries as marked on ground are true boundaries
The survey boundaries
of any Crown section location allotment or other parcel of land marked on the
ground at the time of the Crown Survey thereof and shown by survey posts pegs
trenches or other survey marks shall as to any such parcel of land heretofore
or hereafter granted, transferred in fee simple or demised by the Crown be and
be deemed to have been the true boundaries of such parcel of land whether such
boundaries upon admeasurement are or are not found to be of the same
dimensions or to include the same area as the boundaries or description of
such parcel given in the Crown grant or certificate of title or on a relevant
graphic but it shall be lawful for an authorised land officer to alter the
survey boundaries marked upon the ground as aforesaid so that however such
alteration does not interfere with any improvements which may have been in
good faith effected by the lessee, grantee or transferee from the Crown.
