FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Property Development and Subdivision
What is a subdivision?
Subdivision is the process of dividing one parcel of land into two or more lots. Each new lot receives its own title once approved by council or relevant authorities.
Do I need a survey for subdivision?
Yes. A detailed land survey is essential. It determines boundaries, lot layout, easements, and complies with council regulations.
How many lots can I create from my land?
The number of lots depends on your zoning, minimum lot size, and local planning controls. We can assess your property and tell you exactly what’s possible.
Boundary and Property Lines
What is a boundary survey?
A boundary survey identifies the exact legal edges of your property. It ensures that fences, structures, and new construction are placed in the correct location.
Can I view my property boundaries online?
Online maps only show approximate boundaries. Only a registered boundary survey can provide exact and legally verified property lines.
How long does a boundary survey take?
Most boundary surveys take 1–3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the site.
Construction and Building
Do I need council approval before starting construction?
Yes. Most construction projects require council or certifier approval to ensure compliance with building codes and planning regulations.
How long does the approval process take?
Approval timelines depend on project type and council workload, usually 4–12 weeks. Complying Development Certificates (CDC) can be faster.
What is a Construction Certificate (CC)?
A Construction Certificate ensures your design meets building standards and allows construction to commence once the DA is approved.
Do I need a land survey before building?
Yes. A survey ensures correct building placement, prevents boundary issues, and avoids future legal disputes.
Surveying Services
Why do I need a survey?
A survey ensures accurate property boundaries, site measurements, and compliance with council regulations. It prevents disputes and ensures safe and legal construction.
How long does a survey take?
Most surveys are completed within 1–3 days depending on the size and complexity of the site. Larger or complex projects may take longer.
Can surveys resolve boundary disputes?
Yes. Surveys provide official documentation and clearly marked boundaries that can be used to resolve disputes with neighbours or councils.
Do you provide a physical marking of boundaries on-site?
Yes. Survey markers, pegs, or paint can be placed to define property boundaries and assist in construction or fencing.
Authorities and Regulations
How do I know which regulations apply to my property?
Regulations depend on your property’s zoning, local planning controls, and project type. Our team can review your property and guide you on applicable rules.
What is a Development Application (DA)?
A DA is a formal request to the council to carry out development. It assesses planning compliance, environmental impact, and community considerations.
Do I need approvals for minor renovations or extensions?
Some minor works may be exempt, but most require at least a CDC or a small-scale DA. We help identify what’s needed for your project.
Surveying Professionals
Who are surveying professionals?
Surveying professionals are licensed experts who measure, map, and assess land and property boundaries, topography, and construction sites. They ensure accuracy and legal compliance for all projects.
Why should I hire a professional surveyor?
Professional surveyors provide precise measurements, prevent disputes, ensure compliance with council regulations, and guide construction or development projects safely and efficiently.
What qualifications do surveyors have?
Licensed surveyors typically hold degrees in surveying or geomatics and are certified by relevant regulatory bodies. They use advanced equipment and legal knowledge for accurate results.
