What is a Re-establishment Survey?
Re-establishment surveys might be a must for a construction company planning a multi-million-dollar development, or a commercial operation looking to expand their property. But they are also good if you are a homeowner interested in building a new shed. Measurement and accuracy are the key foundations of any construction project. One centimeter over the line can cause trouble.
As properties age, boundaries may become harder to define. Fences in the wrong place and vegetation obscuring the property boundary can make boundaries unclear. It’s not unusual when Certificate of Title diagrams don’t match a property’s layout.
If planned works require the exact location of your lot’s boundary, re-establishment surveys will give you the confidence you need when investing in a new project.
Over time, physical markers become hard to identify or not match your cadastral plans.
If your property boundaries are unclear, your finished project could violate planning standards. If a building encroaches into a neighbour’s property, they can hold you liable for significant costs and reconstruction adjustments.
Horizons Surveys checks, marks and maps to-the-millimetre accuracy the precise boundaries of your land to according to your Certificate of Title.
We make sure that new walls, fences or structures aren’t subject to statutory setbacks. We ensure that your planned investment is legal, and mistakes don’t happen during construction. One centimetre over a boundary can end with demolition and realignment -expenses worth avoiding.
Whether you’re a homeowner, a landowner, a local council or an engineer, builder or architect – Horizon Surveys will get the job done efficiently.

Feature Surveys
Architects and Design Engineers require feature surveys prior to the initial planning and design phase of a project.
Detailed information about; roads, paths, buildings, retaining walls and vegetation will appear in a plan or digital report. The plans show Contours and levels to AHD (Australian Height Datum). Cadastral info (boundary) information is usually included as an overlay.
Re-pegs / Re-establishment Surveys
Original property boundaries may need to be re-established and marked by pegs. Such surveys can be time-consuming because the original boundaries and associated documentation could be 100 years old. A licensed surveyor needs to state that the work has been undertaken in accordance with current Survey Regulations.
Identification Surveys
Identification Surveys (always carried out by Licensed Land Surveyors) determine all improvements (buildings, awnings, garages and brick walls) in relation to the property boundary. Easements – such as; access, sewer, height restrictions – appear as comments in a report stating the legal description of the land and any encroachments by or upon the Land.
Lease Area Surveys
Commercial areas are often tenanted to third parties, and surveys may be required to calculate the area in question. A lease area survey can help determine the area under lease, using modern equipment and following the lease area guidelines from The Property Council of Australia. Depending on the tenancy, the Survey may be required to measure GLA (Gross Lettable Area) or NLA (Nett Lettable Area).
As-Constructed & Audit Surveys
As-constructed surveys and audit surveys are critical elements in deciding if a structure has been built to design specifications. The surveyor will draw up plans that reveal the dimensions and levels of a particular structure, including; roads, bridges, dams, excavation areas, or landfills. Audit Surveys are performed during the construction stage in order to verify positions for holding-down bolts, plinths, roads and structures.
Mining Tenement Surveys
A mining tenement survey is required to establish the extent of the actual mining lease area for mining tenements. The pegging on the ground needs to be found and any priorities of prior marking out need to be determined.
The Survey of a Mining tenement occurs after instructions issued by the Department of Mines and Petroleum are handed to Licensed surveyors who can then perform these duties noting the hierarchy of tenements.
Most types of survey reports, any time.
Surveying is a suite of many facets including Contour and Feature Surveys, Subdivision of Land (Green title or Strata), Construction set-out as AsConstructed Surveys, Lease Area surveys, remarking of original boundaries and the Calculation of Volumes.
