    A licensed or registered surveyor is legally authorized to perform land surveying and sign off on projects. They establish boundaries and titles, apply laws relating to land ownership, and perform other crucial tasks. Land surveyors are important for the land development process, as they determine where structures can be built and infrastructure installed. Surveys are often required for development applications involving new external works, and provide information like site boundaries, contours, existing buildings and trees, and hazards. This information is used to accurately represent the site profile and establish house and path locations.

    Survey

    What is the role and duties of a Land Surveyor ?


    A licensed or registered surveyor is the only person who is legally
    authorised to perform land or cadastral surveying and sign-off on
    projects. They perform the following tasks:
    ❑ Apply the laws & procedures relating to land ownership
    ❑ Establish boundaries and titles when undertaking surveying work

    Why do we need a land surveyor in Australia?

    Land surveyors are a crucial link in the land development process.


    Without them we would be unsure of where to build structures and
    the infrastructure needed to support them.

    Survey requirements for
    lodging a DA

    ❑ Go to the Local Council’s DA Checklist to


    establish whether a survey is required
    ❑ Surveys are generally required for all
    development applications that entail new
    external works. If alterations and additions are
    being done that are wholly internal to the
    building, a survey may not be required. To
    clarify whether a survey is required, you may
    wish to contact Council’s Duty Planning
    officer.

    Council requirements

    ❑ Site boundaries, bearings and dimensions


    ❑ Contours or Australian Height Datum ground levels
    ❑ Natural drainage lines/water courses
    ❑ Any geotechnical hazards or restricted development areas;
    ❑ Location of existing buildings/structures
    ❑ Location of existing trees (including girth and spread of
    canopy)
    ❑ Significant vegetation/topographical features
    ❑ Street features – power poles, kerbs & gutters

    ❑ Site identification
    ❑ Datum to AHD
    ❑ True North
    ❑ Boundaries and Dimensions
    ❑ Contours
    ❑ Spot Levels
    ❑ Site features – paths,
    Structures, pits etc.
    ❑ Trees & vegetation
    ❑ Existing structures
    ❑ Adjoining structures

    How surveys are used to produce Site
    Profile

    ❑ SECTION B-B – From the survey levels and identified features, an


    accurate representation of the site profile is able to be drafted. The
    House is located and surrounding path levels established

    Glossary
    ❑ AHD - Australian Height datum
    ❑ Contour - A line on a map joining points of equal height
    above or below sea level
    ❑ True North - “True north” is the northern axis of rotation of the
    Earth. It is the point where the lines of longitude converge on
    maps
    ❑ Magnetic North - “Magnetic north” is the point on the Earth’s
    surface where its magnetic field points directly downwards.
    ❑ Easement- An easement is a nonpossessory interest in another's land that
    entitles the holder only to the right to use such land in the specified manner.
    ❑ Bearing- Bearing of a line is its direction relative to a given meridian. A meridian
    is any direction such as true meridian, magnetic meridian and arbitrary
    meridian
    ❑ Geotechnical- Relating to the type of civil engineering methods to plan and
    build that is concerned with rocks and soil: Geotechnical engineering is
    important in any construction occurring on the surface of or within the ground.
    cadastral
    ❑ Cadastral- Cadastral surveying is the discipline of land surveying that relates to
    the definition or re-establishment of land parcel boundaries
