Site Analysis Surveys

We provide many architects and designers with surveys to support development applications. Our surveys provide information regarding existing conditions on subject sites and surrounding properties and are suitable for supporting assessments under various clauses of the planning scheme with connection to the Australian Height Datum (AHD).

Title Re-Establishment

Only surveyors licensed by the Surveyors Registration Board of Victoria (SRBV) are qualified to undertake title re-establishment surveys. Our re-establishment surveys identify the position of existing fences or buildings relative to the title boundary and we offer advice to clients to resolve access and usage rights, adverse possession claims as well as easement and covenant explanations.

We highly recommend a title re-establishment survey is undertaken prior to any development planning or design is undertaken to identify any potential issues as early as possible. Re-establishment surveys should be undertaken when building on or near any title boundary.

We also have expertise in survey based Transfer of Land Act 1958 applications to tidy up land status, such as Section 60, Section 99 and Section 103 applications.

Nilsson Noel and Holmes (Surveyors) Pty Ltd can also prepare creation, variation and removal of easement plans to accompany applications under the Subdivision Act 1988 and the Transfer of Land Act 1958.
