Flat to Gently Sloping
Para Vista sits at postcode 5093 in Adelaide's northern arc — bounded by Wright Road to the north, the City of Tea Tree Gully to the east, and Bridge Road to the west. It's where the flat northern corridor begins to feel the pull of the foothills.
The housing stock — mostly 1960s and 1970s brick veneer on 550–750 m² lots — presents consistent subdivision potential, and the eastern edges carry enough slope to make level data genuinely important in drainage and floor-height design. City Surveyors Adelaide has 20+ years of combined experience in this northern corridor, covering everything from straightforward boundary pegging to full land division packages for the City of Salisbury.
Surveying Services in Para Vista
Lots from the 1960s and 70s often have displaced or missing pegs. We re-establish corners from plan data, identify drainage easements common in the northern suburbs, and produce boundary plans for fencing, extensions, or development.
We document dwelling dimensions, outbuildings, driveways, trees, services, and ground levels. Level data is especially important in Para Vista's sloped eastern sections. Delivered as DXF/DWG and PDF.
Larger allotments (700 m²+) are viable for two-lot division under Salisbury's planning framework. We assess feasibility upfront, design new lots, and prepare the complete Land Services SA lodgement package.
We peg building footprints and floor levels before slab work. On sloped sections of Para Vista, accurate floor-level setting prevents drainage problems and costly corrections during construction.
Confirms whether garages, sheds, and additions fall within legal title boundaries. Commonly requested in Para Vista ahead of property transactions where outbuildings have been added close to side or rear boundaries over the years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which council covers Para Vista?
Para Vista is within the City of Salisbury. All development applications, building consents, and land division applications are lodged with Salisbury council. We work within their planning requirements regularly and know exactly what surveys need to include for council submissions.
Can you survey sloping properties in Para Vista?
Yes. The eastern sections of Para Vista, near the Tea Tree Gully boundary, carry moderate slope changes typical of the northern foothills fringe. We capture accurate level data across the full allotment — essential for drainage design, retaining wall placement, and floor level decisions on sloped sites.
What is involved in a land subdivision in Para Vista?
We assess your lot's zoning and dimensions, then prepare the survey plan, allotment design, easement documentation, and Land Services SA lodgement package. We liaise with SA Water and Salisbury council through the full approval process — managing all the technical requirements so you don't have to.
Do I need a set-out survey before building in Para Vista?
Yes — a construction set-out is required before slab work begins. We mark the exact building footprint, floor level, and setback distances from all boundaries to match your approved plans. This prevents costly errors and gives both your builder and council confidence that construction is proceeding correctly.
How much does a boundary survey cost in Para Vista?
For a standard Para Vista allotment (550–750m²), boundary surveys typically range from $1,100 to $1,800 depending on size and how many pegs need re-establishment. We provide free itemised quotes within 24 hours.
