What Is a Boundary Survey in Griffith NSW?
A boundary survey in Griffith NSW is a legally certified survey carried out by a registered land surveyor to identify, verify, and mark the exact legal boundaries of a property in accordance with NSW legislation.
It confirms where your land begins and ends based on title documents, deposited plans, and historical survey data. The survey provides legally recognised evidence that can be relied upon by councils, builders, solicitors, and neighbouring landowners.
When Do You Need a Boundary Survey?
In Griffith and surrounding Riverina areas, boundary surveys are commonly required when:
- Building a new home or extension close to a boundary
- Constructing fences, sheds, retaining walls, or driveways
- Purchasing or selling property
- Resolving boundary disputes
- Subdividing land
- Lodging a Development Application with Griffith City Council
- Developing rural or irrigation properties
Many properties in regional NSW were originally surveyed decades ago. Fences and occupation lines do not always align with legal boundaries. A current boundary survey prevents costly mistakes before construction begins.
Why Boundary Surveys Are Essential in Griffith
Griffith includes a mix of residential estates, irrigation blocks, and rural acreage zoned under categories such as RU1 Primary Production and R1 General Residential.
In regional areas, it is common for:
- Fences to be positioned incorrectly
- Boundary marks to be disturbed or missing
- Historical surveys to contain inconsistencies
- Long standing occupation to differ from title boundaries
Relying on assumptions can lead to encroachments, legal disputes, construction delays, and expensive rectification work.
A registered boundary survey provides certainty and protects your investment.
Our Boundary Survey Process
We follow a structured and compliant process to ensure accuracy and legal reliability.
1. Title and Plan Research
We examine your Certificate of Title, deposited plans, historical surveys, and survey control data.
2. Field Survey and Measurement
Our surveyors attend site using advanced GNSS and total station equipment to accurately measure and verify boundary positions.
3. Boundary Mark Identification or Reinstatement
We locate existing survey marks or reinstate missing marks where required in accordance with NSW standards.
4. Survey Plan Preparation
You receive a clear, legally compliant survey plan suitable for council submission, architects, builders, or legal use.
All work is completed by registered NSW land surveyors under the Surveying and Spatial Information Act.
Working With Griffith City Council Requirements
For certain developments and subdivisions, Griffith City Council requires accurate boundary definition before approval.
If you are submitting a Development Application or planning building works near a boundary, a current boundary survey may be required to confirm setbacks and compliance.
We regularly work alongside local councils, builders, planners, and conveyancers to ensure projects proceed without unnecessary delays.
For more information about local planning controls, you can refer to the Griffith City Council website.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a boundary survey take in Griffith?
Most residential boundary surveys are completed within one to two weeks, depending on complexity, weather, and access conditions.
Can I rely on my existing fence as the boundary?
Not necessarily. Fences are often placed for convenience and may not reflect the legal title boundary.
Is a boundary survey legally binding?
Yes. A survey completed by a registered NSW land surveyor is legally recognised and can be relied upon for construction and legal purposes.
Do I need a boundary survey before building a fence?
Yes. Installing a fence without confirming the legal boundary can lead to disputes or removal costs later.
What happens if a boundary mark is missing?
Our surveyors can reinstate missing or disturbed survey marks using historical survey data and official records.
Is a boundary survey required for subdivision?
Yes. Subdivision requires accurate boundary identification under NSW legislation.
Will my builder organise this?
Some builders request boundary surveys, but property owners are typically responsible for arranging them.
