Subdivision Surveys

Any time you’re subdividing land into two or more lots, you require a compliant cadastral survey to be carried out.

The survey determines the existing boundaries and is used to understand the new proposed boundaries for the subdivision.
A subdivision plan can then be produced, outlining both existing boundaries and marking new boundaries.

Boundary Re-alignment

Boundary re-alignments provide for the adjustment of boundaries between existing registered properties. The adjustment must be of a minor nature or be a result of exchanging land with a neighbour. A boundary re-alignment requires the lodgement of a Reconfiguration of a Lot (ROL) application with your areas relevant Local Authority or Council.

Key considerations include:

The location, size and topography of the development
Whether it will necessitate a reallocation of the unit entitlement

Identification Surveys

These surveys are used to discover missing pegs, the location of new dividing fences or any easements and covenants on the land. It can also be used for encroachment enquiries, boundary disputes and for the confirmation of boundaries for new home buyers. The carrying out of an Identification Survey is the only legally traceable way to prove the location of boundaries and potential encroachments.

Building Format (Strata) Plans

A building format plan is a type of subdivision for large or multi-storey buildings with multiple units and defines land using the structural elements of the building including floors, walls and ceilings.

Lease Surveys

Long term or high-value leases may require cadastral surveys to define the areas being leased. This survey plan accompanies the lease agreement and is registered against the land title to protect all interested parties.

Impressed with Arnold Development Consultant high level of service and proactive approach.

We engaged Arnold Development Consultants to do the survey work for our subdivision and have been impressed with their high level of service and proactive approach not only doing the survey work, but seeing the lot sealing process through to its completion. They were always willing to go above and beyond and we really appreciated their experience and guidance through this process. You have been fantastic and we will definitely be back for future survey work.
