Boundary dispute with a neighbour Hire a pro
Boundary disputes in Australia are resolved by a licensed cadastral surveyor re-establishing the legal boundary from the original plan of subdivision and placing survey pegs at each corner. The survey pegs are legally defensible and are required by most councils before any boundary fence, retaining wall or building within 900 mm of a boundary is constructed. A surveyor's report is the definitive evidence in a boundary dispute.
Floor plan of house not matching title dimensions Hire a pro
Discrepancies between the as-built house and the plan of subdivision are common in older Australian properties where improvements were added without council approval. An as-built survey documents the actual dimensions of all structures and can form the basis of a retrospective approval application or assist a buyer's due diligence before purchase.
Subdivision or strata title application Hire a pro
Subdividing a residential block in Australia requires a subdivision survey plan prepared by a licensed cadastral surveyor that complies with the relevant State or Territory survey regulations. The process also involves a development application, infrastructure contributions and registration with the Land Registry. A surveyor can advise on whether a proposed subdivision meets the minimum lot size and frontage requirements for your council zone.
