A boundary survey (often referred to as a re-establishment survey) is a precise legal assessment used to formally identify and mark the exact corners and property lines of a land parcel.

Conducted by a Licensed Surveyor, this process involves analysing historical titles, deposited plans, and physical evidence on-site to ensure the boundaries align with the official land registry.

Whether you are installing a new fence, planning a structural extension, or resolving a neighbor dispute, a boundary survey provides the legal certainty required to protect your investment and ensure compliance with local Australian regulations.

A boundary survey is done when a lot or property boundary needs to be redefined. Examples when you would need a survey of this nature done include:

• Improvements to a house or building on or near the boundary
• Improvements to a fence or retaining wall
• Establish exact boundaries for strata title purposes
• Double check boundaries when buying or selling (particularly old properties)
• Detailed survey of property is required by local council

Results are marked or pegged in the ground as well as shown on the Certificate of Title. This leaves no doubt in the minds of property owners and neighbours about where their boundaries lie.

Failure to establish the correct lot boundaries can be a major headache and financial burden if discovered after any building has taken place.
