Do I need a licensed surveyor in Victoria?
Yes. In Victoria, only a Licensed Land Surveyor can legally carry out boundary (cadastral) surveys such as Title Re-Establishment or Subdivision Surveys. Using an unlicensed surveyor can result in plans being rejected by council or Land Use Victoria. Our team is fully licensed and registered with the Surveyors Registration Board of Victoria, so you can trust your plans will be accurate and compliant.
How much does a boundary survey cost?
Costs depend on the size of your property, the accessibility of the boundaries, and the amount of historical research required. In most cases, residential Title Re-Establishment Surveys in Melbourne’s South-East range between $1,000 and $2,500. We provide clear, fixed quotes upfront so there are no hidden extras.
How long does a survey take?
Most residential surveys are completed within 5–10 business days once we have obtained the relevant title records. For urgent jobs, such as fencing disputes or construction set-outs, we can often accommodate faster turnaround times. Larger projects like subdivisions or multi-lot developments may take longer due to council and planning requirements, but we’ll provide a clear timeframe before we start.
Do I need a survey for a fence?
Yes, if you want to be certain your fence is built on the legal boundary. Many neighbours assume the existing fence line is correct, but this is often not the case. A boundary survey ensures the fence is placed in the right position and avoids costly disputes, legal action, or the risk of having to move the fence later.
What areas do you service?
We provide land surveying services across Melbourne’s South-Eastern Suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula, covering areas such as Bentleigh, Cheltenham, Oakleigh, Dandenong, Frankston, Mornington, Mount Eliza, and Portsea. If you’re unsure whether we cover your suburb, just ask — chances are we do.
