Hunter Region Boundary Surveyor

It only takes one wrongly placed fence or wall to create years of headaches. If you're building, renovating or buying land, knowing exactly where your property starts and ends isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. At Duggan Mather Surveyors, based in Taylors Beach and servicing the Hunter Region, we provide detailed boundary surveys to help property owners avoid disputes, council issues and expensive rework.


As the name suggests, boundary marking surveys identify and map the perimeter of a property. We will also physically mark the corners of your land in the process.


These surveys can be useful in situations such as:


  • Boundary disputes
  • Creating easement plans
  • Installing fencing or retaining walls
  • Identifying natural boundaries such as creeks or rivers
  • Accurate boundary mapping & site marking
  • Supports fencing, easement & legal planning
  • Helps resolve boundary or title disputes

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a boundary marking survey used for?

    A boundary marking survey is used to physically identify the legal edges of a property. Surveyors review land titles and historical data, then mark out the corners and boundary lines using survey pegs or similar markers. These surveys are vital before installing fences, building structures close to a boundary or resolving disputes with neighbours. They ensure your property work stays within legal boundaries and avoids costly corrections later.

  • Is a boundary survey legally binding?

    While a boundary survey itself doesn’t change legal ownership, it provides a professionally certified interpretation of your property’s legal boundaries. If done by a licensed surveyor, the results can be used as official evidence in legal proceedings or council submissions. The plans generated can be registered with appropriate authorities and serve as the basis for easements or development approvals.

  • How do I know if I need a boundary survey?

    You should consider a boundary survey if you're unsure where your property ends, especially before building fences, retaining walls or new structures near a lot line. They're also important when subdividing land, creating easements, or buying and selling property—particularly in areas where titles are unclear or existing boundaries haven’t been formally surveyed in years.
