Local Knowledge

Kurrajong is sloping rural-residential acreage on the Blue Mountains foothills, with bushland, mature trees, dams and creek lines. Steep grades and bushfire exposure make detailed contour and vegetation capture critical.

On acreage the useful part is often what sits away from the house: tracks, sheds, dams, creek lines and the fall between them. All of it goes on the one plan.

We work throughout Kurrajong Hills, Grose Vale, Bowen Mountain and the wider Hawkesbury.

Council Requirements

Hawkesbury City Council requires detailed contour and vegetation surveys for development applications in rural and bushfire-prone areas like Kurrajong. Plans should show close contour intervals, significant trees and Australian Height Datum levels for slope and bushfire assessment.

For a rural build the council wants levels across the whole holding so access and effluent disposal can be designed.

Property Types

Rural-residential acreage, sloping bushland blocks, rural homes, outbuildings and sheds.

FAQs

Does bushfire-prone land need extra survey detail?
Yes. Slope and vegetation determine the rating, and both come off the survey.

How does steep ground affect a new rural home?
It decides where the house can reasonably sit, how the driveway grades and where the water goes, so the contours are the first thing your designer needs.

Are dams and creek lines picked up?
Yes, along with sheds, tracks and any visible services across the acreage.

What does an acreage survey need to show?
Levels across the full holding plus dams, creeks, tracks and outbuildings, which is what access and wastewater design are worked out from.
