Services
Cadastral Surveys
Our cadastral surveys precisely define property boundaries using advanced technology and legal title records. We ensure compliance with Victorian land registry requirements, preventing disputes and development complications. Clients receive detailed plans for subdivisions, easements, and property transactions.
Subdivision Planning
We specialise in rural and township subdivisions, including bushfire-prone areas. Our process includes feasibility assessments, council permit applications, and compliance with local planning schemes. We streamline complex projects into manageable steps for efficient approvals.
Bushfire Prone Area Surveys
These surveys identify bushfire risks for rural developments. We assess vegetation types, slope gradients, and ember attack zones to meet planning permit requirements. Our reports help clients implement safety measures while maintaining project viability.
Rural Property Surveys
We provide comprehensive surveys for rural landowners, including boundary confirmations, watercourse mapping, and easement identification. Our expertise ensures accurate data for agricultural planning, property sales, or development applications across regional Victoria.
Statement of Compliance
Our licensed surveyors verify that completed works meet approved plans and legal standards. This critical step ensures council registration of subdivisions and avoids costly rectifications. We handle documentation from initial assessments to final certification.
