Our cadastral surveying expertise includes;

Land Subdivision

The most traditional form of land survey, our cadastral surveyors have experience across urban and rural projects of varying scales up to large Master Planned Communities

Community Title Schemes (CTS)

Comprises of jointly administered lots and common property and the community management statement (CMS) that defines the by-laws and entitlements of the scheme. The scheme and common property is administered by a Body Corporate created upon registration of a CTS, which is jointly held by all lot owners within the scheme. Community Title Schemes can be used for group titles (e.g. gated communities) and subdivision of Building Units. Our team have extensive experience with simple to complex Community Title Schemes for Gated Communities, Duplexes, Townhouse Developments and Multi-Tower High Rise Developments.

Volumetric Surveys

Typically used to define a lot, lease, easement or covenant 3-Dimensionally. We commonly see volumetric surveys utilised in mixed use developments to create individual lots for separate uses of a building without creating a community titles scheme. This allows the different uses of a building, for example retail space and residential tower of a high rise to be separated and managed under different titling schemes. Orion has extensive experience in complex titling schemes of this nature.

Easement Surveys

For the purpose of creating a right to cross or otherwise use someone else’s land for a specified purpose by legal definition. We have experience creating easements for private access between lots, over utility infrastructure to provide rights for maintenance and servicing to large scale transmission line easements.

Identification Surveys

For the purpose of reinstating and marking the existing property boundaries. The survey also checks for any encroachments as well as locate improvements about the boundaries. As a record of the survey, an Identification Plan is required to be deposited with the Titles Office for future reference.

Building Lease Surveys

A commercial building lease for 3 years or more is required by law to be registered on Title. To be registered on Title, the lease agreement requires a Building Lease Plan prepared by a Cadastral Surveyor. Depending on the type of tenancy, the lease will generally be defined by walls, however, the Property Council of Australia’s “Method of Measurement for Lettable Area” provides guidelines for measuring floor space in leased premises. We have experience preparing building leases for projects of all scales, from strip shops, office towers, industrial parks to large shopping centres.
