Title Re-establishment Survey
Clarify your property boundaries with confidence before you build, fence, subdivide, or resolve disputes.
What Is a Re-establishment Survey?
A re-establishment survey compares existing occupation (fences, walls, buildings) to the original title boundaries and legally defines where your boundary lines lie. It must be carried out by a licensed surveyor and provides the clarity needed for permits, fencing, planning, and construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I really need a licensed surveyor?
- Yes. Re-establishment surveys are legal in nature and must be completed by licensed surveyors to be relied upon by councils, Land Use Victoria, and in legal matters.
- Will you mark my boundaries with pegs?
- Where feasible, we place physical marks at boundary corners so builders and neighbours have a clear reference on site.
- Can you help if there’s a dispute with my neighbour?
- We provide an independent boundary definition and a certified plan. Your lawyer can then use our documentation if further legal action is needed.
