Where the River Torrens Meets North-East Adelaide
Windsor Gardens is a north-eastern suburb of Adelaide, approximately 6 kilometres from the CBD, sitting within the City of Port Adelaide Enfield. The suburb was largely built by the South Australian Housing Trust in the early 1960s — over 675 homes were constructed in the area by 1964 — creating a distinctive streetscape of post-war bungalows on generous allotments. The River Torrens runs through the suburb, adding a natural boundary feature and floodplain overlay considerations that make surveying in this area more layered than a typical flat suburban site. With 20+ years of combined experience serving Port Adelaide Enfield properties, City Surveyors Adelaide handles Windsor Gardens' survey work with full awareness of the river corridor's implications.
Our Services in Windsor Gardens

Learn moreDetail Survey
Full site capture for Windsor Gardens renovations and DA lodgements: existing dwelling, outbuildings, fences, driveways, services, and site levels. Properties near the Torrens receive AHD-referenced ground levels to inform flood-aware design and drainage plans.
Learn moreLand Subdivision
Windsor Gardens' 1960s Housing Trust lots — many at 600–750 m² — are well suited to two-lot subdivisions where frontage requirements are met. We handle the full process: feasibility, DA detail survey, final cadastral survey, and registration of new titles.
Learn moreConstruction Set-Out
New homes, extensions, and secondary dwellings in Windsor Gardens require precise set-out to meet Port Adelaide Enfield setback requirements. We establish building corners, offset pegs, and finished floor levels referenced to AHD before slab or footings commence.
Learn moreIdentification Survey
Confirms all structures on your Windsor Gardens property sit within legal title boundaries — a standard requirement for property sales and refinancing. Given the prevalence of granny flats and rear additions on the suburb's generous lots, identifying boundary compliance early avoids settlement delays. Certified report within 2–3 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the River Torrens affect property boundaries in Windsor Gardens?
Yes. The River Torrens runs through Windsor Gardens and properties adjoining the river corridor may be subject to flood overlay designations, watercourse easements, and riparian boundary rules. We identify all relevant encumbrances as part of boundary and detail surveys for properties near the river.
Can I subdivide my Windsor Gardens property?
Windsor Gardens has seen steady subdivision activity as its 1960s Housing Trust lots are redeveloped. Allotments of 600 m² or more with adequate frontage can often support a two-lot division under City of Port Adelaide Enfield policies. We assess feasibility, complete the detail survey for your DA, and manage the cadastral survey through to new titles.
How long does a boundary survey take in Windsor Gardens?
Most boundary surveys in Windsor Gardens are completed within 3–4 business days. We re-establish all boundary corners, verify dimensions against the deposited plan, identify easements, and provide a certified plan showing setbacks to existing structures.
What survey do I need before building a granny flat in Windsor Gardens?
A detail survey is required to show your existing dwelling, setbacks, site levels, and available space for the secondary dwelling. This gives your designer accurate data and supports council lodgement. A construction set-out survey then positions the granny flat precisely on the approved footprint.
Do Windsor Gardens properties need flood-aware detail surveys?
Properties near the River Torrens corridor should include AHD-referenced floor and ground levels in their detail survey to determine the relationship between the site and published flood hazard levels. We include this in all surveys for properties within or near the river corridor.
