Land surveying is the profession of determining the
size, shape and location of a form of tenure. Primarily
this work involves the subdivision or consolidation of
land, the creation of a strata title, the delineation of a
leasehold area or the definition of a resource right such
as oil, gas, minerals or timber. The land surveyor
gathers evidence of adjacent or nearby property
markers and assesses that evidence against the
records of the various forms of tenure in the area.
From that evidence the surveyor either determines
the location of a pre-defined boundary or sets out a
new boundary ensuring that it is not in conflict with an
existing boundary.
