Understanding boundary adjustment
A boundary adjustment concerns a proposed change to the boundary between adjoining parcels. Start by explaining the existing lots and the change you want to explore, rather than assuming that moving a fence changes the title boundary.
SurveyWorx can discuss the survey and plan preparation relevant to the proposal. The existing title information, proposed layout and advice from your planning and legal team help establish the next step. Agreement between neighbours and preparation of a plan should not be treated as confirmation that every approval or registration step is complete.
Prepare your boundary adjustment enquiry
To scope your boundary adjustment enquiry, provide:
- Available title and deposited plans for the affected properties
- A sketch of the proposed boundary change and its purpose
- Relevant planning advice, consent conditions or written requirements
- Details of existing structures, access and the project advisers involved
If you need to identify an existing boundary rather than propose a change, discuss an identification survey. If the aim is to combine lots, see consolidation plans.
FAQs
Our answers to your questions.
Can I move the fence to adjust the title boundary?
A physical fence and the title boundary are different matters. Share the proposed change and existing plans with your surveyor, and discuss the title and approval steps with your project advisers before relying on a new fence position.
What information helps assess a boundary adjustment proposal?
Send the affected property details, available title plans and a sketch showing the intended change. Explain why it is proposed and include planning advice or written requirements already received. This helps distinguish a proposed adjustment from an investigation of the existing boundary.
Does a boundary adjustment create extra lots?
Tell us whether you want to change a shared boundary or create additional lots. These are different project objectives and should be assessed against the actual proposal. A subdivision plan enquiry may be more suitable if you are seeking additional lots.
