A re-establishment survey determines the location of the title boundaries, documents and reports on any discrepancies affecting the guarantee of title. This survey will highlight the relationship between the true extent of title and the representation of the boundary, being the fencing or structures.
Reasons a re-establishment survey may be required are:
- Fencing
- Construction
- Purchase or sale of land
- Boundary disputes
- Land management
- Peace of mind

A Re-establishment survey can identify possible adverse possession claims and anomalies that significantly impact on the extent of land that exists within your title. A re-establishment survey is the only way to determine whether your fencing accurately represents your title boundaries.
All standard Contracts of Sale recommend that the boundaries be checked by a Licensed Surveyor to ensure that they accord with the purchases understanding of the title boundary. While this is often ignored, the unfortunate legacy that exists on some parcels of land can be identified by simply undertaking a re-establishment survey.
