Cadastral surveying: a practical guide

What is cadastral surveying?

Cadastral surveying is the process of identifying, measuring and documenting the exact boundaries of land parcels. It provides the definitive legal description of a property, which is essential for owners, developers and councils.

Why cadastral surveying matters in Parramatta

Parramatta’s rapid development means property boundaries can change quickly. A precise cadastral survey helps avoid disputes, supports smooth land transactions and ensures compliance with local planning regulations.

The cadastral survey process explained

1. Initial consultation – We discuss your requirements, site location and any known issues. 2. Field investigation – Using modern GPS, total stations and drones, we capture accurate measurements of the site. 3. Data processing – Survey data is converted into detailed plans that show boundaries, easements and any encroachments. 4. Report delivery – You receive a professional report and digital files ready for council submission or legal use.
