Detailed surveying services to inform early-stage design and planning.
In this residential project in Lorne, Mark Potter Land Surveyor was engaged to carry out a complete title re-establishment survey alongside a feature and level survey and existing conditions survey. These services supported the early planning and design stages for a property development within the Surf Coast region.
This comprehensive survey package provided essential data for architects, designers and consultants preparing a site-specific plan compliant with Surf Coast Shire planning requirements.
Title re-establishment.
A full title re-establishment survey in Lorne was undertaken to verify the property’s legal boundaries in relation to fences, buildings and surrounding structures. The corners of the title were physically marked on-site using pegs, helping the client clearly understand their land limits before progressing with any design or construction activity.
A plan and surveyor’s report were also prepared and provided, outlining the property rights and any foreseeable boundary issues that could affect development or planning permits.
Feature and level survey.
As part of the same project, a detailed feature and level survey in Lorne was completed. This included measurement and documentation of all relevant features on the property, such as buildings, sheds, trees, contours, and essential services like utility poles, pits and kerb lines.
This information was delivered in both hard copy and digital formats for integration with the architect’s design platform. It formed the base for site planning, ensuring the proposed development responded to the site’s physical features and context.
Existing conditions survey.
The existing conditions survey extended the scope of the feature and level work by including key elements of neighbouring buildings, including roof heights, eaves, and window positions. This level of detail is particularly important in coastal towns like Lorne where overlooking and visual impact need to be addressed during the design and town planning phases.
All results were presented in a format ready for use by building designers and planning consultants.
