Integrated boundary and site analysis for informed residential development.
This project in Torquay involved the delivery of a title re-establishment survey, combined with a feature survey and existing conditions survey, to support design and planning for a residential site.
Located in Central Avenue, the property required precise boundary identification and comprehensive site information to assist with upcoming architectural work. Mark Potter managed all surveying components, providing reliable data in both hard copy and digital formats for easy use by the design team.
Title re-establishment.
A title re-establishment survey in Torquay was carried out to confirm the legal title boundaries in relation to existing structures and fencing. Pegs were placed at the title corners to physically mark the boundaries on-site. This step is essential when planning any construction near a boundary or resolving uncertainty about title dimensions.
Mark also prepared a clear plan and a surveyor’s report outlining the client’s property rights, potential boundary risks and any foreseeable issues that may arise with adjacent properties or title records.
Feature and level survey.
This feature survey in Torquay measured all existing features on the property, including buildings, sheds, significant trees, utility infrastructure, and kerbside streetscape elements. Elevation levels were also recorded to support drainage planning and site grading.
This information is critical for architects and planners, forming the base layer of any site design and ensuring all proposed works align with the site’s existing characteristics.
Existing conditions survey.
An existing conditions survey was also completed, expanding on the feature survey by including detailed information about neighbouring properties. Roof heights, eaves, and window positions were documented to help ensure compliance with planning controls such as overlooking, overshadowing, and site setbacks.
This data is often required during town planning submissions and helps architects design with confidence, particularly in areas with established neighbourhood character like Torquay.
If you’re building or redeveloping in Torquay, a title re-establishment survey and feature survey will provide the foundation for a successful application. Contact Mark Potter Land Surveyor for precise, professional surveying tailored to your property and project goals.

Title re-establishment surveys provide certainty by accurately redefining property boundaries where records, fences or past surveys no longer align.
