Licensed land surveyors supporting Geelong’s growing residential landscape.

Mark Potter Land Surveyor provides professional surveying services across Geelong and surrounding suburbs, supporting homeowners, builders, developers and consultants with accurate land information and practical local expertise. With more than 20 years of experience across Greater Geelong, Mark delivers reliable surveying solutions tailored to residential developments, infill projects and established urban areas.

From Newtown and Highton to Belmont, East Geelong and Armstrong Creek, Mark works closely with clients to ensure projects begin with clear, compliant and dependable survey data.

Geelong continues to experience strong residential growth, with the City of Greater Geelong population now exceeding 280,000 residents and ongoing expansion occurring through urban renewal and infill housing projects across the municipality. This growth has increased demand for accurate title definition, subdivision planning and feature surveys throughout the region.

Surveying expertise for Geelong’s established and emerging suburbs.

Geelong’s mix of older residential areas and newer growth corridors presents unique surveying challenges. Many inner suburbs feature historical title boundaries, ageing fencing and irregular lot dimensions, while growth areas require detailed planning and coordination with infrastructure and council requirements.

Mark Potter specialises in helping clients navigate these complexities through services including:

Title re-establishment surveys – Confirm legal property boundaries for fences, construction or dispute resolution
Feature and level surveys – Capture existing features and contours of your land for planning and design
Subdivision surveys – Expert guidance for small residential subdivisions from concept to title registration
Set out surveys – Ensure buildings are constructed in the right location, in line with plans and permits
Application surveys – Provide survey data to support planning permit applications and Land Victoria processes

Whether you’re planning a townhouse development near Pakington Street, extending a home in Manifold Heights or subdividing land in Mount Duneed, every survey is completed by a licensed professional with extensive local knowledge.

Supporting Geelong infill and subdivision projects.

As Geelong evolves, urban infill developments are becoming increasingly common throughout suburbs like Geelong West, South Geelong and Belmont. These projects often require careful management of title boundaries, access requirements and planning overlays.

Mark has extensive experience assisting with these developments, including this recent urban infill subdivision for Geelong townhouses, where accurate subdivision planning and feature surveying supported the development of new residential dwellings within an established urban area.

Projects like these demonstrate the importance of working with a surveyor who understands both the technical and practical aspects of development in Geelong’s evolving residential market.

Local knowledge that supports smoother approvals.

Surveying in Geelong requires familiarity with local planning requirements, drainage considerations, easements and infrastructure corridors. Mark’s long-standing relationships with the City of Greater Geelong, local architects, planners and builders help streamline the surveying process and reduce delays.

From properties near the Barwon River to sites along the Surf Coast Highway and Princes Highway corridors, Mark provides practical surveying advice that supports successful project outcomes.

Frequently asked questions about land surveying in Geelong.

Do I need a title re-establishment survey before building in Geelong?

If your proposed building works are close to a boundary, council or your builder may require a title re-establishment survey to confirm the exact legal position of your property lines before construction begins.

Are feature and level surveys important for townhouse developments?

Yes. Feature and level surveys provide architects and designers with essential information about land contours, drainage, neighbouring structures and existing site conditions. They are particularly important for infill developments in established Geelong suburbs.

Can you assist with subdivisions in older Geelong neighbourhoods?

Absolutely. Many older Geelong suburbs contain large allotments suitable for subdivision. Mark regularly assists clients with dual occupancy and small-scale subdivision projects throughout established residential areas.
