Community title scheme (CTS) surveys define individual lots, shared areas, and building structures within multi-unit or mixed-use developments. These are essential for layered ownership structures, body corporate arrangements, and titling under Queensland’s strata legislation.
At Sonto, we deliver clear, compliant CTS surveys that support smooth registration, precise management of common property, and confidence in simple and complex developments.
We start by reviewing your development plans, site layout, design intent and relevant approvals to understand how individual lots, shared areas and access should be structured.
This ensures your survey aligns with Queensland’s strata legislation and supports a compliant framework for registration and Body Corporate setup.
Our licensed surveyors conduct a detailed site survey, capturing all relevant spatial data – including common walls, building positions, access points, services and structural elements.
This field data forms the foundation of the building format plan, exclusive use area plan, and services location diagram. It ensures each lot, exclusive use area, and common property is accurately defined and ready for registration.
We prepare certified Building Format Plans, including Exclusive Use Plans and Services Location Diagrams, required to establish a Community Title Scheme (CTS).
These plans clearly define lot boundaries, exclusive-use areas, and common property, as well as the location of services and are structured to support Body Corporate setup and meet all legislative and registration requirements.
Once the plan is complete, we provide certification and assist with lodgement documentation for the council and Titles Office. This ensures the strata plans meet all compliance requirements and are ready for registration, helping to streamline project completion and legal titling.

A CTS survey, also known as a BFP survey is required when subdividing a property into multiple lots with shared areas, such as townhouses or apartment buildings. It defines individual lots, common property, and exclusive use areas, supporting body corporate setup and legal registration under Queensland’s strata legislation.
While a standard subdivision creates standalone land parcels, a CTS survey defines lots within a shared site, including common areas like driveways or gardens. It involves additional plans like Exclusive Use Plans and Services Diagrams to support strata titling and community property management.
Yes, if the development includes shared property or intends to operate under a Body Corporate, a CTS survey is typically required. Even for duplexes, it’s important to clearly define lot boundaries and responsibilities to meet titling and legal obligations.
