A land survey in WA is more than just measurements. It's a legal document prepared by a licensed professional that defines your property rights. At City Land Surveyors Perth, we use precision GPS and robotic total stations to capture millimetre-accurate data, then cross-reference it with Landgate records to produce plans that hold up in court, at council, and with your bank. Whether you need a site survey Perth for a development application or a cadastral survey Perth for legal boundary definition, we deliver accurate results.
Every Perth property has a unique surveying history. Old subdivisions in Fremantle may have survey marks from the early 1900s – these often require a re-establishment survey Perth to restore the original boundary positions. New estates in Baldivis have modern GPS coordinates. We research your property's history through Landgate before we even arrive on site, so we know exactly what we're looking for and can deliver accurate results first time.
Do You Need a Licensed Surveyor?
In WA, only surveyors licensed by the Land Surveyors Licensing Board can legally define property boundaries. This isn't optional – it's the law under the Licensed Surveyors Act 1909. Unlicensed surveys won't be accepted by Landgate, can't be used in court, and won't satisfy council requirements.
