Mark regularly works on projects involving:
- coastal infill developments
- townhouse subdivisions
- dual occupancy projects

- sloping coastal sites

His understanding of local planning overlays and township-specific requirements helps minimise delays and support smoother approvals.
Barwon Heads land surveying.
Barwon Heads remains one of the Bellarine’s most tightly held coastal towns, known for its village atmosphere, established homes and premium residential developments. Surveying projects here often involve older title boundaries, renovations and carefully managed infill developments.
Mark recently completed a boundary and site detail survey in Barwon Heads, supporting a local coastal project requiring accurate title clarification and detailed feature mapping.
Properties near Hitchcock Avenue, the Barwon River and Golf Links Road frequently require precise surveying to support planning approvals and protect existing site conditions.
Land surveyors in Ocean Grove.
Ocean Grove continues to experience strong residential expansion, with ongoing development across areas including Kingston Estate, Oakdene and the town’s western growth corridors. As one of the Bellarine Peninsula’s largest communities, the area presents ongoing demand for subdivision surveys, set out surveys and feature surveys.
Mark assists property owners and developers throughout Ocean Grove with accurate land data that supports efficient project planning and council compliance.
Point Lonsdale land surveying.
Point Lonsdale combines heritage homes, coastal overlays and tightly constrained residential sites. Surveying in the area often requires detailed understanding of planning controls, easements and environmental considerations.
Whether working near Point Lonsdale Road, the lighthouse precinct or established residential streets close to the foreshore, Mark provides precise surveying services designed to support compliant development outcomes.
Land surveyor services in Portarlington.
Portarlington has evolved into one of the Bellarine’s fastest-growing lifestyle destinations, attracting both permanent residents and holiday homeowners. Development activity throughout the township has increased significantly in recent years, particularly around residential infill sites and coastal property upgrades.
Mark recently completed an existing conditions survey for a Portarlington property, helping support accurate planning and site analysis for a local development project.
With properties ranging from established homes near the waterfront to larger allotments on the township fringe, accurate feature and boundary surveying remains critical throughout the area.
Frequently asked questions about surveying on the Bellarine Peninsula.
Are coastal properties on the Bellarine harder to subdivide?
Some coastal properties are affected by environmental overlays, drainage controls or planning restrictions that influence subdivision potential. A licensed surveyor can help assess these considerations early.
Why are feature and level surveys important for Bellarine developments?
Feature and level surveys capture site contours, neighbouring structures, vegetation and drainage conditions, providing essential information for architects, builders and planners.
Do I need a title re-establishment survey before replacing fencing?
If boundary locations are unclear or neighbouring properties disagree on fence placement, a title re-establishment survey helps confirm the legal property boundary.
