What is Land Surveying?
Land surveying is the process of measuring and recording the details of the land using technology and modern surveying techniques. Land surveyors use historical and previously published maps as well their own fieldwork to draft plans of the area in focus.
Land surveying is a critical aspect of any project that involves the development or management of land, as it allows you to understand your land boundaries and accurately measures contours and features of a particular piece of land.
Within land surveying, there are different surveys that can be offered to a client so that they are presented with the data and plan they specifically need. Below is a list of the different types of surveys:
- Cadastral surveys, also known as boundary surveys, are used to locate the exact borders of a piece of land/property.
- Feature surveys, also known as detailed surveys, are used to identify major details of the property, including—existing buildings, vegetation, retaining walls and fences, utility services, roads and pathways, and neighbouring properties.
- Topographical surveys map the contours and terrain of a block of land and provide detailed information that is crucial in planning and development.
- Construction surveys assist in every stage of the construction process. Pre-construction surveys assist in planning and the development of the land. Set-out surveys mark the exact location of the proposed construction. Site monitoring can identify small movements within the land and can also help track the progress of construction. As Constructed or Work as Executed surveys shows the final results of the building works.
Whether you are wanting to define your boundaries, consolidate or subdivide your land or complete a major development, land surveying is a major part of the planning, approvals, and construction/development process.

Frequently Asked Questions
As a commercial developer, what can a land survey tell me?
If you’re subdividing or planning to develop the land, you are essentially changing the land use and will need a planning permit. Having the land surveyed determines what is permitted to be built on the land according to zoning, environmental conditions and town planning codes.
Do you offer other services aside from surveying?
No, our focus is solely on our specialty – surveying. We are happy to arrange and work alongside other professionals and contractors providing slightly different services for the same project though.
What happens with the information from the surveyor?
The surveyor will draw up and lodge the plan, if required, with the appropriate government department. Once the boundaries are registered by the surveyor, all information for that land is then recorded with the land authority of that state.
What makes Western Survey unique?
Our services are specifically for environmental, cadastral, development and construction projects for private, government, commercial and industrial sectors.
How does pricing work?
Since we work with both small and large clients, we tailor the pricing specifically for each project. Please contact us via phone or email to discuss the project and our rates. Once the scope and size of the project is determined we can provide a written quote.
What does it mean to be a Registered Surveyor in NSW?
A Registered Surveyor is someone who has undergone extensive training and experience in the surveying profession and has been awarded direct management responsibilities within the land boundary system.
To qualify as a Registered Surveyor, a qualified surveyor must complete additional work experience and examinations, as well as accredited by the NSW Board Of Surveying & Spatial Information (BOSSI). At Western Survey, we have been Registered Surveyors for Land in NSW since 2013.
