The type, location, land tenure, approval pathway and construction scope all impact when and how surveys are used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Navigating this landscape is complex. So, to help builders, developers, engineers and landowners get it right from the start, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sstone.com.au\/survey\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our property development consultants<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have broken down the core surveying requirements in Western Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Surveying Is Essential for Development Projects<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surveying provides measured information about a site\u2019s physical condition. From ground conditions to existing structures and services, topography, title boundaries and planned layout, it provides the data that every other discipline relies on \u2013 planners, engineers, architects and builders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In practical terms, surveying enables:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reliable site measurements\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear boundary definition<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Informed planning and design decisions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detailed and timely development submissions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compliance with statutory requirements<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accurate construction delivery<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, survey data becomes the shared reference point for all stakeholders. Whether it\u2019s a residential, commercial, civil, infrastructure or mining project, that means accuracy matters at every stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 1: Site and Feature Surveys<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feature and Level Surveys<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step in meeting surveying requirements in Western Australia is establishing a clear picture of the site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feature and level surveys capture:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Existing terrain and contours\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Structures and built elements (retaining walls, fences, roads, kerbs)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drainage behaviour\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Services and constraints\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This directly informs how a site can be developed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For developers working with property development consultants, the feature survey is often one of the first documents shared between the surveyor, planner, architect, engineer and builder. It removes assumptions and allows constraints to be resolved before they become design issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 2: Boundary and Cadastral Surveys<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boundary information is separate from a general site survey. A feature survey may show fences and visible occupation, but fences do not always align with legal title boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only a Licensed Surveyor can legally re-establish or define property boundaries. There are two main approaches here:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boundary Re-Establishment Surveys<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boundary re-establishment surveys (also called \u2018boundary identification surveys\u2019 or \u2018re-pegs\u2019) confirm the legal position of existing property boundaries. They\u2019re used for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building fences and retaining walls<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resolving encroachment issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confirming property extents<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verifying survey marks (pegs)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Licensed Cadastral Surveys<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where there is no existing boundary in place or the boundaries need to change, surveyors perform a cadastral survey. These are used for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subdivision\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New lot creation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Title definition and transfer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Development approvals<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cadastral survey work must be completed by a licensed surveyor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 3: Surveying for Planning and Development Approvals<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surveying requirements in Western Australia are often most visible during the planning and approval stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning authorities like Landgate and the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) rely on accurate survey information when assessing development applications and subdivision proposals. Poor-quality data leads to RFIs, redesign and approval delays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For developers, this is where survey quality directly impacts project planning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The earlier developers have accurate and compliant survey data, the easier it is to prepare subdivision plans and development applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 4: Construction Surveys<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a project moves into delivery, surveying moves from a planning support role to actively progressing construction delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Construction Set-Out<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Construction set-out translates approved designs into on-ground marks:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building corners<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gridlines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Footings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slabs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roads<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kerbs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drainage infrastructure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Services<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retaining walls<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lot boundaries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Civil works and earthworks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This prevents builders and contractors from guesstimating the correct location or required levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Property development consultants working on larger projects may establish a survey control network. This is a system of fixed reference points with precise known coordinates, and it provides consistency in complex projects.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 5: Compliance and As-Built Surveys<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surveying doesn\u2019t stop once construction starts. As-built and compliance surveys confirm that what has been constructed matches approved plans and required tolerances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As-Built Verification<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As-built surveys are the \u2018final working draft\u2019 of a construction project. They show what was actually delivered \u2013 from drainage systems, roads and pavements to building position, floor levels, retaining walls, services and utilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As-built surveys support handover and final documentation, giving owners and asset managers accurate records for future reference.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compliance Surveys<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compliance surveys work with as-built surveys to show that the final construction meets regulatory requirements. They focus on verification for approvals and certification.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both types are essential to complete a project. Discrepancies or incomplete data at this stage will delay approval and handover.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Common Surveying Challenges in WA<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surveying requirements in Western Australia can be affected by site conditions, access and regulatory hurdles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Site conditions and variability<\/b><b>: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">round conditions, drainage and legacy services can vary significantly, even within the same region.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Regulatory requirements<\/b><b>: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trict compliance standards apply to cadastral and compliance surveys.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Coordination across disciplines<\/b><b>:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> S<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">urveying must integrate with design and construction teams to streamline the project.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Accuracy across large or complex sites<\/b><b>: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aintaining consistent, high-quality data across all stages of larger developments.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the site and location, there may also be practical challenges that require specific surveying expertise:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remote and regional sites<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may require additional planning for mobilisation, safety, control networks, weather and access\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Urban redevelopment sites<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often involve existing services, tight boundaries, neighbouring structures and limited working areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Large civil or infrastructure projects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might require repeated set-out, progress measurement and conformance reporting.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sstone.com.au\/survey\/engineering-survey-challenges\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are all manageable when surveying is embedded early and performed properly by a property development consultant with the right tools and experience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Silverstone Supports Surveying Across WA<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Silverstone\u2019s property division is known for navigating surveying challenges in a complex landscape.
