At 1:250 000 road destination arrows and the name of the destination will be shown on the western and southern map edges only.

At 1:100 000 road destination arrows and the name of the destination will be shown from all edges of the bounding Graticule.

Road destination arrows will normally be shown on dual carriageway, principal and secondary Roads. The use of road destination arrows will be consistent with the use of kilometric distance indicators, that is, roads with distances shown will also have road destination arrows where they meet the western and southern neatline (at 1:250 000) or the bounding Graticule (at 1:100 000). When road destination arrows and related text unavoidably clash with Graticule values or are too close to the trim line,see Appendix B chapter 11 (for 1:250 00) or the 1:100 000 Layout Guide (for 1:100 000).

The destination will be a significant town or locality, generally on the adjoining map.
 
The Road destination arrow will be placed in the map margin and will be oriented to show the direction of the destination point. The Road destination arrow will be labelled (textnoted) with the name of the destination and the road distance to the destination point, to the nearest kilometre from the neatline (at 1:250 000) or the bounding GDA94 graticule (at 1:100 000).  

The Arrows will be digitised such that the start node is at the map neatline(at 1:250 000) or the bounding GDA94 graticule (at 1:100 000) and the end node at the arrow head.  

The Road destination arrow will be placed in the map margin and will be oriented to show the direction of the destination point. The Road destination arrow will be labelled with the name of the destination and the road distance to the destination point, to the nearest kilometre from the neatline (at 1:250 000) or the bounding GDA94 graticule (at 1:100 000).

Distances shall be measured to the nearest kilometre.

Use to show distances between two significant features eg between towns, major road intersections and road junctions or a combination of the above.

The needle end of the symbol should point exactly at the town or road junction from which the distance is to be measured and will just touch the outside of the road or town symbol.

At 1:250 000
A Kilometric Distance Indicator will be placed at the intersection of the road and the neatline on the south and west edges when associated with a destination arrow. For the north and east edges, a Kilometric Distance Indicator will be placed at the intersection of the road and the graticule line at the inner edge of the map bleed, and preferably will be aligned so that the symbol falls within the bleed edge. Where there is a destination to be indicated within the bleed edge, a road distance will be given to that destination from the graticule line. A MapNumber associated with a Kilometric Distance Indicator will not need to be maintained at 1:250 000.

At 1:100 000
A Kilometric Distance Indicator will be placed at the intersection of the road and the neatline for all map edges when associated with a destination arrow, and aligned so that the symbol falls within the map sheet. A MapNumber associated with a Kilometric Distance Indicator will only be maintained for those Kilometric Distance Indicators falling on a neatline.

Pairs of Kilometric distance indicators must have a distance value populated between them in the Annotation feature type.

The needle end of the symbol should point exactly at the town or road junction from which the distance is to be measured and will just touch the outside of the road or town symbol.

Distances between Kilometric distance indicators will be shown as Annotation features.

The flow direction arrow will be used for the last chain of watercourses which dissipate and where the direction of flow may be unclear. The flow direction arrow must be coincident with the node at the downstream end of the feature. No direction of flow arrow will be added when the downstream end of a watercourse stops at, or within, a waterbody feature dataset polygon, or where direction of flow can be reasonably determined from the interpretation of the topography.

The flow direction arrow should be orientated so it appears that the stream connects directly through the centre of the arrow symbol (e.g. approximately 30 degrees should exist between each branch of the arrow and the drainage centreline.) See symbol dictionary for example.
 
 

Flow Direction Arrows should not exist where two or more linear features in the drainage feature dataset connect to each other.

Annotation should be placed such that it does not overprint the graticule. If this is unavoidable then it is preferable that the graticule intersections are kept visible, as these are important reference points on the map.

Type should be placed such that it does not overprint the graticule. If this is unavoidable then it is preferable that the graticule intersections are kept visible, as these are important reference points on the map.

The Graticule will be masked where black type unavoidably overprints the feature. The break measurement will be 0.2 mm on either side of the type where it crosses the feature. (Note: the feature will be masked only on the map and will be complete in the data.)

The grid line will have a symbol 0, ie: will not print, where it follows the central meridian of the UTM zone.  

Black and red annotation should be placed such that it does not overprint the grid. If this is unavoidable then it is preferable that the grid intersections are kept visible, as these are an important mensuration points on the map.

Black and red type should be placed such that it does not overprint the grid. If this is unavoidable then it is preferable that the grid intersections are kept visible, as these are an important mensuration points on the map.
