Boundary Surveys

What is a Boundary Survey?

A property boundary survey (also called a land boundary survey or fence boundary survey) identifies and marks the exact legal boundaries of your property. Whether you're buying, building, or resolving a fence line dispute, a boundary surveyor establishes the precise location of your property limits using title data and physical evidence.

When Do You Need a Boundary Survey?

A boundary survey in Wollongong is essential in the following situations:

• Before building or renovating — Confirm your structures stay within your property lines
• Fence disputes — Resolve disagreements with neighbours about boundary locations
• Buying or selling property — Verify the exact property you're transacting
• Council DA submissions — Many development applications require boundary surveys
• Subdividing land — Establish new boundaries when dividing a block
• Locating easements — Identify service easements and access rights on title

1. Title research — Review your title certificate and historical survey data
2. Site inspection — Locate existing survey marks, fences, and physical features
3. Precise measurement — Use GPS and laser equipment to establish boundary corners
4. Boundary marking — Install survey pegs at corner and key boundary points
5. Survey plan — Prepare a registered survey plan showing boundaries and improvements
