A Detail Survey (also known as a Contour Survey, Feature Survey, or Topographic Survey) is required by the City of Newcastle Council if you are intending to build or extend. They’re also used for property valuation purposes or to plot flood levels if you have drainage issues. The survey will show positioning of existing structures (buildings, trees, pools etc), neighbouring structures, setbacks, and levels/contours. Architects, planners and engineers will use this survey when making their designs. A Detail Survey is the most common type of survey needed by residential clients. They need to know the exact features and levels of the site.
It depends on a number of factors. The size of your land will affect the price. The bigger the land, the higher the cost. The slope and topography of your block of land will have a major bearing. A flat block is easy to survey while a hilly block with a lot of different levels will be harder and therefore more expensive. The shape of your lot will also be a factor. A rectangular or square block is easier to survey than a block that is not uniform. The amount of information at the NSW Land Registry also affects the price. Surveyors use existing information as part of the Detail Survey preparation and if there’s hardly any information held at the Registry then it will take longer to survey the land. It’s pretty hard to be able to provide pricing for Detail Surveys without having an address.
