Land Surveyors Serving Glebe and the City of Sydney
Whether you’re extending a terrace or building off a rear lane, your designer needs accurate levels and existing building detail before design starts. That matters even more in Glebe, where most of the suburb, including along Glebe Point Road, sits inside a heritage conservation area. One wrong level or missed detail can send a design back for rework.
We prepare Glebe surveys to City of Sydney Council’s survey plan specification, completed by or under the supervision of a Registered Surveyor.

Surveying Services Offered in Glebe
Here’s what we provide in Glebe, grouped by project stage.
Pre-construction: DA/CDC Approval
Before you lodge, your designer needs accurate levels, existing building detail and boundary positions that City of Sydney Council or your private certifier can work from. We deliver them as clearly annotated plans, so your architect and consultants can start straight away.
Construction Phase
On a tight Glebe site, there’s no room for a slab in the wrong place. We peg out your build and calculate excavation volumes, so you’re building from checked information, not estimates.
Occupation Certificate
At the end of your build, your certifier needs proof it was built to plan. Our Work as Executed, identification and final surveys give them exactly that, so you’re not left waiting on survey paperwork.
Subdivision, Strata, Consolidation
Subdividing a lot, strata titling a building or consolidating titles means a set of plans and legal documents that must line up before new titles can issue. We prepare each one, from the Section 88B instrument (which creates easements, restrictions and covenants when the plan is registered) to the final plan.
Lodgements to Authorities
A finished plan still has to reach the right authority, in the right order. We prepare it and lodge it with City of Sydney Council, the strata certifier and NSW Land Registry Services on your behalf, so you’re not chasing paperwork.
Applicable for All Stages
Whether you’re at design stage, mid-construction or finalising your development, these surveys are available on request.

Surveying Regulations and Council Requirements in Glebe
Glebe sits within the City of Sydney local government area, so most development here is assessed under the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 and the Sydney Development Control Plan 2012.
Council’s survey requirements are specific. Most development applications need a contour and detail survey prepared by a registered surveyor, along with a current title search and the deposited plan. If your work sits within 1 metre of a side or rear boundary, the survey must be based on a boundary survey. The plan also has to show neighbouring structures within 3 metres of the boundary – which, on a row of Glebe terraces, is most of them.
Because most of Glebe is in a heritage conservation area, applications often need a Heritage Impact Statement. That’s a report on how the work affects the area’s character, prepared by a qualified heritage professional. Our survey doesn’t replace it, but it gives them the accurate levels and building detail they need to write it. Your private certifier or City of Sydney Council can confirm exactly what applies to your site.

Glebe Surveying FAQs
Which survey do I need for a terrace renovation or extension in Glebe?
A contour and detail survey is the usual starting point, because City of Sydney Council requires one with most development applications. If the work sits within 1 metre of a side or rear boundary, the survey must be based on a boundary survey. If you’re changing the layout inside, add an Internal Building Survey.
Does living in a heritage conservation area change what survey I need?
The survey types are usually the same, but accurate existing detail matters more. Applications in a conservation area often need a Heritage Impact Statement, and the heritage professional who prepares it will work from your survey’s levels and building detail.
Can you work on a small site with lane-only access, or while I'm living there?
Yes, in most cases. When you book, tell us about the lane access, the site and whether you’re living there, and we’ll plan the visit around it.
I only need one survey. Do I have to commit to anything?
No. You can book just the survey you need, with an upfront quote and no ongoing commitment. For Contour, Detail & Boundary Identification, 3D, Internal and UAV Surveys, Survey Express gets a surveyor on site within 72 hours of booking.
