The benefits of engaging a land surveyor for your project

Engaging a land surveyor on the Central Coast offers numerous benefits for building designers, property owners and developers, council staff, and others seeking to undertake a construction project. Some of the key advantages include:

• Accurate Boundary Determination: Our land surveyors have the expertise and tools to determine property boundaries accurately, minimising the risk of disputes and legal issues in the future. Compliance with Legal Requirements: Development projects must comply with various legal requirements, including building setbacks and floor levels. Our land surveyors on the Central Coast will provide the necessary information to ensure your project aligns with these regulations, avoiding costly delays and penalties.
• Precise Site Analysis: By conducting topographic surveys, our land surveyors can provide essential information about the physical features of a site. This data will help you make informed decisions during the planning and design stages, optimising land use and minimising potential environmental impacts.
• Construction Accuracy: During the construction phase, land surveyors play a crucial role in setting out precise locations for buildings, roads, and infrastructure. Their expertise ensures that projects are built according to plans, minimising errors and ensuring the highest level of accuracy.

About town planning on the Central Coast

Our town planners on the Central Coast are ready to assist you with your next development project. We are experts in all types and scales of residential, commercial, industrial and infrastructure development. Our town planners take the guesswork out of getting your next project up and running – from guiding you on the approval pathway options, to preparing the required planning reports / applications, and coordinating the approval with Council.

This process also involves project management, i.e. working with relevant stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in compliance with State and local planning requirements.

Other key elements of our service include:

• Environmental Assessment: Our town planners provide a full range of planning approval and environmental assessment services, including dealings with local councils, Government agencies and public authorities. We regularly prepare Reviews of Environmental Factors for eligible development activities including new and/or updated services infrastructure, roads, schools, and public facilities.
• Other Assessments: Some applications for planning approval may require other specialist assessments. These may be required based on the type, scale and/or location of the development. Our team specialise in the following assessments:
  • Landscape & Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA),
  • View Sharing Analysis, and
  • Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) / Crime Risk Assessment.
• Complex / Significant Development: A greater level of reporting and assessment is required for development that has a higher-impact, or is located in an environmentally sensitive area, or is identified as being of State significance. This can include designated development and State significant development. These development applications must be supported by an Environmental Impact Statement. Our town planners are Registered Environmental Assessment Practitioners and are qualified to assist you through this complex process.
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Integrating land surveying data and other geospatial information, GIS allows for the visualisation and interpretation of data, aiding decision-making processes in land development projects. This is a powerful tool that can be used to gain a better understanding of the relationship between various environmental constraints and planning provisions which can assist in site selection and avoiding impacts early in the design.
