A Boundary Survey Every Melbourne Property Owner Should Know


Most property owners assume their physical fence line matches their legal title boundary. In many cases it does not, and the gap between what is on the ground and what the title actually records creates costly problems the moment a sale, build or subdivision is attempted. Encroachments left unidentified at purchase can affect future development, generate neighbour disputes and in some cases lead to adverse possession claims that take years to resolve.

A boundary survey, formally known as a Title Re-establishment Survey in Victoria, is the only reliable way to confirm where a property's legal limits actually sit. It can also identify any encumbrances, easements or restrictions on the title that affect what can be built or how the land can be used. In Victoria, this survey can only be legally carried out by a licensed surveyor, making the choice of provider a matter of both accuracy and legal compliance.

Linear Land Surveying carries out boundary surveys for homeowners, developers and builders across Melbourne and regional Victoria using calibrated Leica GPS and total station equipment, with every measurement manually checked. In one documented case, the team identified that a river forming a natural boundary had shifted several metres from the advertised land size, saving the client from overpaying on a property purchase.

Capturing accurate spatial data across large or difficult sites has always been one of the more demanding aspects of land surveying.
