When it comes to property, accuracy and compliance are critical. An incorrect survey can cause costly disputes, delays, or even legal action. That’s why it’s essential to use a Licensed Land Surveyor who understands Victorian regulations, council requirements, and boundary law.
At South East Land Surveyor, we combine technical expertise with local knowledge to provide reliable, certified surveys across Melbourne’s South-East and the Mornington Peninsula.
All surveys are carried out by fully licensed and insured surveyors registered with the Surveyors Registration Board of Victoria.
We provide clear, upfront quotes with no hidden extras. Whether you need a fence boundary check, subdivision, or construction set-out, you’ll know the cost before we start.
We keep you updated, meet agreed deadlines, and deliver plans in both PDF and CAD formats – ready for council or design teams.
Using advanced equipment and strict procedures, we provide plans that are precise, defensible, and accepted by all Victorian councils.
We needed a boundary check before replacing our old fence for our newly bought home, which the neighbours insisted on. The surveyor explained everything clearly, pegged out the boundary, and gave us certified plans to give to the fencer. Fence was constructed on the boundary and no issues with the neighbour.”
Our architect asked for a feature and level survey, and title re-estab for our renovation in Cheltenham. The team came out to site and were very considerate, and turned it around quickly, and the plans were accepted by council with no issues.
We’re developing two townhouses in Frankston and needed a plan of subdivision and help with the subdivision management process. The guys handled everything professionally and guided us through the process from start to finish with lots of phone calls and explanations as its our first time developing.
Have used the these guys for setout surveys for a number of our builds (im a builder), no issues.
A Title Re-Establishment Survey confirms your property boundaries as per the Certificate of Title and survey records. It’s essential for fencing, extensions, or legal disputes with neighbours. Our Licensed Surveyors peg the boundaries on site and provide certified plans that are accepted by councils and the Land Titles Office, giving you confidence your structures are in the right place.
Feature & Level (topographic) surveys capture the slope, contours, and existing features of your property, from trees and buildings to services and driveways. These surveys are required by councils and architects when preparing planning permits or designs for renovations, new builds, and developments. We provide accurate, detailed plans in both PDF and CAD formats, ready for your architect or town planner.
If you’re looking to split your land into multiple lots, realign a boundary, or consolidate titles, a Subdivision Survey is required. We manage the process from preparing the plan of subdivision through to liaising with your town planner, council, and Land Use Victoria. Whether it’s a small two-lot split or a multi-townhouse development, our surveyors make the process straightforward and legally compliant.
Builders rely on set-out surveys to position homes, extensions, footings, and commercial structures exactly where they should be. Our team uses precise instruments to mark out designs on-site, preventing costly mistakes. We also provide As-Built Surveys (sometimes called as-constructed surveys) to confirm works have been built in the correct location and meet compliance requirements.
We also provide specialist services to address complex property and legal needs. This includes adverse possession surveys for boundary disputes, easement creation or removal surveys, flood level checks, and lease area (NLA) surveys for commercial properties. These surveys are tailored to your requirements and can provide the evidence you need for councils, lawyers, or property transactions.
Most property owners don’t know what type of survey they require — and that’s perfectly normal. Whether you’re building a fence, lodging plans with council, subdividing land, or starting construction, we can guide you. Simply tell us about your project, and we’ll explain which survey is required and why, in plain English. This way, you get the right survey the first time and avoid delays or unnecessary costs.
Yes. In Victoria, only a Licensed Land Surveyor can legally carry out boundary (cadastral) surveys such as Title Re-Establishment or Subdivision Surveys. Using an unlicensed surveyor can result in plans being rejected by council or Land Use Victoria. Our team is fully licensed and registered with the Surveyors Registration Board of Victoria, so you can trust your plans will be accurate and compliant.
Costs depend on the size of your property, the accessibility of the boundaries, and the amount of historical research required. In most cases, residential Title Re-Establishment Surveys in Melbourne’s South-East range between $1,000 and $2,500. We provide clear, fixed quotes upfront so there are no hidden extras.
Most residential surveys are completed within 5–10 business days once we have obtained the relevant title records. For urgent jobs, such as fencing disputes or construction set-outs, we can often accommodate faster turnaround times. Larger projects like subdivisions or multi-lot developments may take longer due to council and planning requirements, but we’ll provide a clear timeframe before we start.
Yes, if you want to be certain your fence is built on the legal boundary. Many neighbours assume the existing fence line is correct, but this is often not the case. A boundary survey ensures the fence is placed in the right position and avoids costly disputes, legal action, or the risk of having to move the fence later.
We provide land surveying services across Melbourne’s South-Eastern Suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula, covering areas such as Bentleigh, Cheltenham, Oakleigh, Dandenong, Frankston, Mornington, Mount Eliza, and Portsea. If you’re unsure whether we cover your suburb, just ask — chances are we do.
Yes. In addition to preparing the Plan of Subdivision, our Licensed Surveyors can organise and prepare all the necessary subdivision permit documentation. We work closely with your town planner, council, and Land Use Victoria to guide your project from concept through to final registration — saving you time and stress.
Absolutely. We regularly work with architects, designers, engineers, and builders, providing detailed plans in both PDF and CAD (DWG/DXF) formats. Our surveys include accurate levels, features, and AHD datums to ensure your designs and set-outs meet council and engineering requirements. Many professionals rely on us for fast, precise data to keep their projects moving smoothly.
A Feature Survey documents the visible elements on your site (buildings, fences, trees, driveways, visible services, easements) and the cadastral context. A Level Survey measures ground heights (RLs) and contours—usually tied to AHD (Australian Height Datum)—to show slope and drainage. For planning permits in Victoria, councils and architects typically request a combined Feature & Level Survey that includes both the site features and AHD level information on one plan. We supply Feature & Level Surveys with AHD levels, spot levels and contours in PDF and CAD (DWG/DXF), ready for your architect/town planner.
An As-Built Survey (sometimes called an as-constructed survey) verifies that a completed structure or development has been built in the correct location and to the approved design. Councils, engineers, and building inspectors often require an As-Built Survey for compliance before issuing final approvals. We provide clear, certified plans in PDF and CAD formats, showing the exact location of works such as buildings, services, or infrastructure.
Yes. Easements affect what you can and can’t do on your land, and any changes must be properly surveyed/documented. We prepare easement creation surveys, easement removal surveys, and boundary realignment plans for submission to council and Land Use Victoria. Whether you’re applying to remove an easement in Victoria or create a new one for services, we handle the survey documentation and ensure it meets legal requirements.
Yes. If you’re making an adverse possession claim or dealing with a boundary dispute, you’ll need a Licensed Surveyor to prepare the supporting survey documentation. We provide detailed Adverse Possession Surveys that identify the land in question and supply evidence for your lawyer or conveyancer. Our survey plans are accepted by councils, solicitors, and Land Use Victoria, giving you the best chance of resolving the matter quickly.
