“A Licensed Surveyor is a surveyor authorised to perform cadastral surveys and is the only person (or entity) legally entitled to undertake a survey to define and mark the boundaries of your property. Licensed Surveyors in Victoria are registered by the Surveyors Registration Board of Victoria. Any person, not being a Licensed Surveyor, who undertakes a boundary survey (cadastral survey) is liable for prosecution, as such a survey is illegal and would have no legal standing”
