Land Surveyor Greenacres
Precise surveying for Greenacres homes and developments — Port Adelaide Enfield
Greenacres is one of Adelaide's characteristic north-eastern family suburbs, developed steadily through the 1950s to 1970s on the flat plain between the CBD and the Para Hills foothills. Solid brick homes on 500–750m² allotments form the backbone of this Port Adelaide Enfield suburb, and as owners modernise older properties or unlock subdivision potential in larger blocks, accurate surveying is the foundation of every project. City Surveyors Adelaide has 20+ years of combined experience working with CPAE properties and knows the survey record patterns, drainage easement corridors, and planning code requirements that matter here.
Surveying Services in Greenacres
Boundary Surveys
Decades of landscaping and fence replacements have displaced many original pegs in Greenacres. We locate or re-establish all boundary corners from historical cadastral data, identify drainage and service easements, and deliver a formal boundary plan. Essential before fencing, extensions, or pool installations.

Full site documentation for DAs — existing buildings, sheds, fences, driveways, trees, services, and ground levels. Formatted to CPAE specifications so assessors have everything they need from submission day one, reducing requests for additional information.
Learn More →Land Subdivision
Many Greenacres properties on 700m²+ allotments are viable for two-lot Torrens title subdivision under CPAE zoning. We handle feasibility assessment, DA detail survey, council coordination, cadastral survey, and Lands Titles Office lodgement end-to-end.
Learn More →Construction Set-Out
New homes, granny flats, and additions positioned precisely to council-approved plans. We establish building corners, set floor levels, and return for footing checks as needed — working with volume builders and custom builders across Greenacres.
Learn More →Identification Surveys
Pre-purchase confirmation that all structures sit within the legal title boundary and clear of easements. On older Greenacres properties with multiple outbuildings, this check can uncover issues worth negotiating before settlement. Delivered in 2–3 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions — Greenacres
What are the most common survey jobs in Greenacres?
The most common surveys in Greenacres are boundary surveys (for fencing and extensions where pegs are missing), detail surveys for development applications, and two-lot subdivision surveys. Construction set-outs for new homes and granny flat additions are also regularly requested as homeowners update 1960s and 70s properties.
Are boundary pegs often missing in Greenacres?
Yes — in a suburb developed primarily in the 1950s to 1970s, many original boundary pegs have been disturbed by decades of landscaping, driveway construction, and fence replacements. We re-establish missing corners from historical cadastral records and nearby survey marks, delivering a formal boundary plan within 3–5 business days.
What does a detail survey cover for a Greenacres development application?
A detail survey for a Greenacres DA captures all existing site features: the dwelling, sheds, garages, fences, driveways, trees, service points, and ground levels. The City of Port Adelaide Enfield requires this to assess setbacks, site coverage, and drainage. We deliver CAD files formatted to CPAE specifications.
How do I know if my Greenacres block is large enough to subdivide?
Subdivision eligibility depends on your allotment size, zone, frontage, and any applicable overlays under CPAE planning policies. We offer free initial feasibility assessments — provide your address and we'll check the title, zone, and Planning and Design Code requirements to advise on viability.
Do you survey for swimming pool installations in Greenacres?
Yes — a boundary survey is typically required before installing a pool to confirm setback compliance and locate any underground drainage easements that may affect placement. Many Greenacres properties carry drainage easements from the original 1960s subdivision that aren't visible on the surface. We identify all registered easements and provide clear setback information for pool builders.
