Contour and Detail Surveys in Auburn
Contour and detail surveys throughout Auburn and the wider Cumberland area, where medium-density development is moving fast.
Local Knowledge
Auburn sits on the gently undulating Cumberland Plain with modest level changes across most blocks. Many sites back onto Duck River and its tributaries, where low-lying land carries drainage and minor flood considerations that make accurate ground levels important.
Light-industrial and mixed-use sites here need more than levels. Hardstand, utility connections, retaining walls and vehicle access all get recorded, because that is what the stormwater design and the truck movements depend on.
We work throughout Lidcombe, Berala, Silverwater and the wider Greater Western Sydney area.
Council Requirements
Cumberland City Council requires a current detail and level survey for most development applications, especially dual-occupancy and townhouse proposals. Plans should reference Australian Height Datum and clearly show existing site levels, drainage and any easements.
Medium-density proposals get the closest look, with setbacks tight and drainage often shared between lots.
Property Types
Dual-occupancy sites, townhouse complexes, older single dwellings, light-industrial premises, mixed-use developments.
FAQs
Do I need a flood study near Duck River?
Low-lying blocks sometimes do, and your survey records the levels that decide it.
What does council need for a dual-occupancy?
A current detail and level survey referencing AHD, showing levels, drainage and easements, which is exactly what we deliver.
Can a survey help with an industrial upgrade?
Yes. Hardstand, service connections, retaining and access points are all located, which is what the engineer needs for stormwater and what council needs to assess the application.
