An identification survey confirms the location of existing boundaries, improvements, easements and encroachments on a parcel of land. It’s essential for property purchases, development applications, fencing, and construction close to boundaries.
At Sonto, we provide accurate, fast identification surveys for residential, commercial and development sites, guaranteeing that you know exactly what’s on the ground, and where.
We start by reviewing your property’s information including, registered plans and council mapping to understand the legal boundaries and any easements or constraints.
This gives us a clear foundation to accurately interpret and locate the site boundaries.
Our surveyors visit your property to locate and mark boundary corners, identify fencing, structures, and any encroachments using high-precision total stations and GNSS equipment.
This confirms where your boundaries lie and highlights any encroachments or issues that may affect your use or development of the land.
We reinstate lost or unclear boundaries where necessary and prepare a certified identification survey plan showing all relevant features.
This plan documents the current state of your land and can be used for legal, planning or construction purposes.
Once complete, we finalise the plan, issue a signed copy, and if required, lodge it with the Department of Natural Resources and Mines.
This provides peace of mind and a trusted reference for any future land dealings or approvals.
