Understanding plan of delimitation

A plan of delimitation addresses the survey definition of land with a limited title. If a title search or your solicitor identifies a limitation, share that information before ordering a general boundary survey. The appropriate work depends on the title and available survey evidence.

SurveyWorx can discuss the survey and plan preparation needed for your property. A plan being prepared is not confirmation that a limitation has been removed. Ask the professional coordinating your title matter to confirm the required documents and actual registration status.

Prepare your plan of delimitation enquiry

To scope your plan of delimitation enquiry, provide:

  • The current title search and the wording of the limitation
  • Existing deposited plans, deeds or survey information available to you
  • The request from your solicitor or conveyancer and the reason for the enquiry
  • Access details and any boundary issue already identified

If your enquiry concerns redefining an existing parcel without a title limitation, discuss a plan of redefinition. We can help clarify which survey scope should be considered before you commission work.

Discuss your requirements with SurveyWorx.

FAQs

Our answers to your questions.

Is delimitation the same as resolving a boundary dispute?

No. Tell us whether your enquiry concerns a title limitation, a disputed boundary or both. The survey investigation and any legal advice need to be scoped for the actual issue. Do not assume that preparing a plan settles a disagreement or guarantees a title outcome.

What should I send about a limited title?

Provide the title search, any existing plans or deeds and the written request from your solicitor or conveyancer. Explain what you want to do with the property. SurveyWorx can discuss the investigation and plan preparation scope after reviewing the available information.

How do I know whether the limitation has been removed?

Ask the professional managing the title matter to confirm the current title and registration status. A quote, field survey or draft plan should not be treated as confirmation that a title limitation has been removed. Agree who is coordinating lodgement and follow-up.
