Protect your property!

The law states that cadastral (property boundary) surveys must be conducted or supervised by a practising licensed surveyor. Surveys performed by unlicensed practitioners do not have any legal standing, and can compromise the future development of your property.


Always check that the surveyor defining any boundaries of your property is licensed in Victoria and legally entitled to do the job. If a surveying firm is engaged, confirm that the company uses a practising licensed surveyor to perform and/or supervise its cadastral surveys.

The Surveyors Registration Board of Victoria investigates and prosecutes unauthorised people who undertake cadastral surveys.
