What is Cadastral Surveying?

Cadastral surveying is the discipline of land surveying that deals with the identification, definition, and documentation of land boundaries. It forms the legal basis for property ownership, land development, and land registration in Australia. All residential land development and property transactions rely on accurate cadastral data to comply with state and federal regulations.
