A Title Re-Establishment Survey compares the dimensions of your Certificate of Title with existing survey marks, fences, walls, and natural features on the ground. By applying survey law principles and accurate instruments, we “re-establish” your original title boundaries.
The outcome is a Survey Plan of Re-Establishment — certified by a Licensed Land Surveyor — that councils, builders, and lawyers accept as legal proof of your boundaries.
Only Licensed Land Surveyors, registered with the Surveyors Registration Board of Victoria (SRBV), can perform this type of cadastral survey.

“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.”
“We weren’t sure if the fences were on the boundary for our house. The surveyor came out quickly and was friendly, and gave us certified results confirming only a small difference to title, they placed marks and we can now build a new fence in the right spot.”
“We had a long-running boundary dispute for our investment property in a bayside suburb. The surveyor helped us with the adverse possession survey docs and help with finding a great lawyer and advice.”
“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.”
