Our purpose

Surveyor-General Victoria (SGV) is a branch of Land Use Victoria.

Our purpose is to give Victorians confidence and certainty in their land ownership and land information systems.

What we do

We deliver world-leading products and services to all Victorians on:

  • land ownership – support the Torrens Title system by defining the location and extent of land parcels and the associated rights.
  • land information – Manage the Central Plan Office and provide systems that deliver survey mark infrastructure information
  • surveying standards – set and monitor the standards for surveys in Victoria.

Our decisions and activities are shaped by a range of acts and regulations.

We are committed to improving the social, economic and environmental prosperity of Victoria. We define location and extent of land parcels and therefore the rights associated with land parcels.
