Site Context & Feature Surveys
At Steve Palmer Surveys, we specialise in delivering precise feature and levels surveys, site analysis, and site context surveys for projects across the Mornington Peninsula, including Frankston. These surveys provide crucial data for design, construction, and local government requirements, ensuring your project begins with a solid foundation.
Feature & Levels Surveys
What is a Feature and Levels Survey?
A feature and levels survey provides a detailed representation of a site’s topography and physical features in plan format. These features include:
- Structures
- Utilities
- Fences
- Vegetation
- Land contours and slope
Each survey is tailored to meet your project’s needs and includes accurate measurements to scale.
Common Uses
Architectural Design
Supplied to architects, engineers, or draftspersons for design purposes.
Local Government Applications
Required for council permits, particularly for properties in flood zones or those requiring ResCode compliance.
Flood Mitigation
Determines proposed floor levels that comply with minimum height requirements.
Australian Height Datum (AHD) Connection Surveys
What is the Australian Height Datum (AHD)?
The AHD is a standardised altitude measurement based on the average sea level across Australia. Surveys connected to the AHD ensure accurate elevation data, a critical component for flood risk assessments and council approvals.
How It Works
An AHD connection survey transfers altitude data from a permanent survey mark to a temporary benchmark on-site. This process ensures precise height data for your project.
Site Analysis & Site Context Surveys
What Are They?
Site analysis and site context surveys are specific types of feature and levels surveys. These surveys comply with Victoria’s ResCode regulations and provide essential data for residential developments.
Why Are They Needed?
- Assess the impact of proposed developments on neighbouring properties and the surrounding area.
- Satisfy council planning requirements for residential projects.
