Surveyor-General Victoria (SGV) is supporting the surveying response to the recent January 2026 bushfires in Victoria. As a property owner, you may need to determine where your property boundaries are for planning permit applications and any other construction work as part of the design and building process.
SGV can put you in contact with land surveyors who are local to you and will be able to provide professional advice and surveying services at a discounted rate.
SGV is also working with public land managers who are responsible for repairs to damaged or destroyed fences between private properties and public land including National Parks, State Parks and State Forests. The Victorian Government will pay half the cost of the materials for these boundary fencing repairs, and SGV is providing advice on the land surveys required for that work.
If your property has been affected by the bushfires and you’re unsure about your land surveying needs, contact us on (03) 9194 0282 or email surveyor.general@transport.vic.gov.au.
