Detail & Contour Surveys
Get the accurate information you need for your next project.
Planning to build or develop your land? A Detail and Contour Survey provides the information your designer needs to get the best out of your site.
What is a Detail & Contour Survey?
A Detail and Contour Survey provides accurate spatial information that covers:
The topography of the land, including which way water drains
The Title boundaries and any Easements that may be relevant
Details of neighboring properties (i.e. height and windows)
The accurate position of structures on the site
And more…

This survey is required any time you plan on doing development on your site. While some councils don’t always require it, not doing a survey could lead to costly issues down the track – after you’ve spent all your hard earned money on your development. It pays to get it right from the start.
