Professional Re-establishment Surveys in Perth
A re-establishment survey (also called a re-peg or boundary re-establishment) restores lost or disturbed survey marks and legally re-defines your property boundaries. At City Land Surveyors Perth, our licensed surveyors perform re-establishment surveys that meet Landgate requirements.
What is a Re-establishment Survey?
Over time, original survey marks can be lost due to construction, landscaping, or natural processes. A re-establishment survey:
- Researches original boundaries: Using historical survey plans and title documents
- Locates remaining evidence: Finding any surviving survey marks in the area
- Re-calculates positions: Determining correct boundary positions
- Places new marks: Installing permanent survey marks at boundaries
- Lodges with Landgate: Registering the survey for legal effect
Re-establishment vs Identification Survey
An identification survey shows you where boundaries are based on existing evidence. A re-establishment survey legally re-creates the boundaries and places new permanent marks. Re-establishments are required when:
- Original survey marks are lost or destroyed
- You're subdividing and need boundary definition
- Legal certification of boundaries is required
- Court evidence for boundary disputes is needed
When Do You Need a Re-establishment Survey?
- Lost survey marks: Original pegs removed during construction or landscaping
- Subdivision: Creating new lots requires boundary re-establishment
- Legal disputes: Court proceedings require certified surveys
- Older properties: Properties surveyed decades ago may have no remaining marks
- Building near boundaries: Some councils require re-establishment for close setbacks
