An amalgamation survey combines two or more land titles into a single lot, typically for redevelopment, site efficiency, or to meet planning scheme requirements.
Sonto delivers certified amalgamation plans that streamline development and avoid complications caused by fragmented titles. Whether for subdivision staging, design clarity or council compliance, we work with your team to ensure a smooth and legally sound outcome.
We start by confirming the purpose of the amalgamation, whether for redevelopment, planning compliance or site rationalisation. We then review the existing title information, boundaries and planning overlays for all lots involved.
Depending on your site and project requirements, we undertake either a desktop (compiled) survey or a full field survey. Desktop work uses existing title records and plan information to prepare the amalgamation plan, while field surveys confirm boundaries on the ground where required for certainty.
We draft a certified plan that clearly defines the new consolidated lot. This plan is formatted to support council requirements and Titles Office submission, and may also assist with design or planning applications.
We provide the certified amalgamation plan in digital format, ready for use in the registration process. If required, we coordinate with your legal or planning team to support efficient lodgement and approval.

The resulting plan helps simplify property boundaries and supports future development or council approvals.
Not always. In many cases, we can prepare a compiled amalgamation plan using existing survey and title data. A field survey is only needed when boundaries are unclear, missing, or must be verified on site. We’ll assess this at the start of the project.
No. Amalgamating lots combines them into a single title, but it doesn’t affect ownership, zoning, or other entitlements. It’s purely a cadastral change that simplifies your property’s legal structure. Your legal team or planner can advise on any broader implications.
In most cases, amalgamation doesn’t require formal development approval — but you may need to notify or satisfy certain planning scheme provisions. We recommend checking with your town planner or council to confirm any specific local requirements before proceeding.
Reversing an amalgamation would require subdividing the lot again through a standard subdivision process. This involves new approvals, survey plans and council endorsement. If flexibility is needed in the future, it’s important to consider that before combining titles.
