What Is a Boundary Identification Survey?
A boundary identification survey determines the position of property boundaries based on title information, survey records, and physical evidence on the ground.
This type of survey:
Identifies boundary corners and lines
Marks boundaries on site (as required)
Identifies fencing / structures that are in close proximity to the boundary line.
Helps clarify boundary location prior to works or transactions

Building fences or retaining walls
Planning extensions or improvements
