Cadastral Surveys

A cadastral survey is a legal survey of land for the purpose of defining or changing parcels: dividing a property into lots, joining parcels together, or preparing the plan a title needs. It must be carried out by a licensed land surveyor and prepared to the standards of the Lands and Surveys Division and the Land Registry, because it becomes part of the public record.

When you need one. When subdividing land for sale, for family members or for a development; when combining parcels; when regularising a parcel whose title and plan disagree; and when an attorney, a lender or a planning application calls for a registered survey plan.

What is involved. The parcel's history is researched, the boundaries are surveyed and reconciled with the adjoining parcels, the new lots are laid out to the planning approval, marks are set, and the plan is drawn, checked and lodged. We manage the lodgement and answer the queries that come back.

What you receive. A registered cadastral plan with the parcel numbers your attorney and the Land Registry will use, marks on the ground for each new corner, and guidance on the approvals that sit around a subdivision.
