| (b) | copies of the superseding general plan have been made available for inspection during a period of six weeks at the Surveyor-General’s office and at the office of the local authority within whose jurisdiction the area resurveyed is situate or, if there is no local authority, at the office of the magistrate of the district in which that area is situate. |
