The information on the City Land Surveyor Melbourne website is general information only. It is here to help you understand land surveying and the kinds of surveys that may apply to a property in Melbourne or Victoria.
Not professional advice
Nothing on this website is surveying, legal, planning or financial advice for your property. Every property is different. Title details, boundaries, easements, council rules and site conditions all affect what you need. Please speak with a qualified, registered land surveyor about your property before you make a decision, start building, put up a fence or buy or sell land.
Rules and requirements change
Planning rules, council requirements and land registry processes in Victoria change over time. We work to keep this website current, but some information may be out of date when you read it. Check with your local council, Land Use Victoria or the relevant authority for the current requirements.
Figures are a guide
Any costs, timeframes, measurements or examples on this website are general guides only. What applies to you depends on your property and what your project needs.
Images and examples
Photos, plans, diagrams and examples on this website are for illustration. They do not show your property and should not be used as a survey or a plan.
Links to other websites
We link to other websites where we think they are useful. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content.
Your rights
Nothing on this page limits any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot be excluded.
