Covenant Surveys
Covenant surveys provide the precise documentation and boundary definition required to create, vary or remove covenants in accordance with Victorian planning and title legislation.
A covenant is a legal restriction recorded on a property title that controls how land may be used or developed. It may limit subdivision, building design, dwelling type, height, materials or other aspects of development. While covenants are often established to protect character or coordinate development, they can also restrict future use or limit project potential.
Removing, varying or creating a covenant requires accurate surveying and compliant documentation, often in conjunction with council approvals and legal processes. Errors or incomplete plans can result in delays, objections or complications during lodgement with Land Use Victoria.
At Humphries Land Surveying, we provide end-to-end surveying support for covenant removal, variation and creation across Melbourne and Victoria. We prepare certified plans, investigate title and encumbrances, and work closely with planners, solicitors and councils to ensure all documentation meets statutory requirements. Whether you are restructuring a development, updating outdated restrictions or establishing new estate controls, we deliver clarity and compliance throughout the process.
