Boundary Survey Services in Greenslopes, Brisbane

Greenslopes properties feature post-war homes on generous blocks with subtle slopes and established gardens. Many owners discover their fence lines don't match true boundaries when planning renovations or rebuilds. Our boundary surveys provide the definitive answer, marking all corners with precision survey pegs and providing council-ready plans for your development application. With Greenslopes' proximity to hospitals and Stone's Corner creating strong development demand, accurate boundary identification is essential for maximizing your property's potential.

Greenslopes Note: Greenslopes properties on corner lots often have different setback requirements, making boundary identification crucial for new builds.

Why You Need a Boundary Survey in Greenslopes

Greenslopes properties on corner lots often have different setback requirements on each street frontage, making boundary identification crucial before any building work. Properties averaging 500-700m² may have boundaries that have shifted from original survey pegs placed in the 1950s-60s. Our surveyors research the original title plans, locate or reinstate all boundary pegs, and provide clear documentation showing exactly where your property lines sit relative to existing fences and structures.

Boundary Survey FAQs - Greenslopes

Do I need a boundary survey before knocking down and rebuilding in Greenslopes?

Yes - Brisbane City Council requires a boundary survey as part of your development application for any new dwelling. The survey confirms setbacks from all boundaries and ensures your new build fits within the approved building envelope. For corner lots in Greenslopes, different setbacks apply to each street frontage.

My fence line doesn't match my neighbour's survey - what happens?

This is common in Greenslopes where fences were often built without surveys. We research both properties' title history, locate the true boundary based on original government survey marks, and provide a clear plan showing the legal boundary position. Most boundary disputes are resolved once both parties see the surveyed facts.

Can you survey just the rear boundary for my granny flat?

Yes, we can perform a partial boundary survey focusing on specific sides of your property. However, for granny flats in Greenslopes, council typically requires a full boundary survey showing all setbacks to confirm compliance with planning scheme requirements for secondary dwellings.

How accurate are Greenslopes boundary surveys?

Our surveys meet the ±10mm accuracy standard required under Queensland surveying regulations. We use GPS base station corrections and tie into permanent survey marks to ensure your boundary pegs can be relied upon for construction, fencing, and future subdivision.

What if original survey pegs are missing from my 1960s Greenslopes home?

Missing pegs are common after 60+ years of landscaping and construction. We use survey control networks, adjoining property boundaries, and original deposited plans to mathematically reconstruct the boundary position, then place new reference pegs marked with our surveyor's details.

Does a boundary survey cover the location of underground services?

Boundary surveys focus on property corners and lines. Underground services like water, sewer, and stormwater are typically shown on detail surveys or can be located separately using electromagnetic detection equipment if required for your Greenslopes project.
