[Call (08) 7110 0760](tel:0871100760) [Get a Free Quote](/contact-us/) Council City of West Torrens Distance to CBD ~8 km South-West Typical Lot Size 500 – 700 m² Open Space ~40% Parks & Reserves Novar Gardens Adelaide suburb surveying Named in honour of Ronald Munro Ferguson — 1st Viscount Novar and Governor-General of Australia from 1914 to 1920 — Novar Gardens is an inner south-western Adelaide suburb where nearly 40% of its 1.8 km² is devoted to parks and reserves. That generous open space creates a unique surveying challenge: many residential properties directly adjoin reserve land, requiring careful boundary work to confirm the interface and identify drainage easements running along park edges. City Surveyors Adelaide has **20+ years of combined experience** across City of West Torrens properties — from simple fence-line surveys to full subdivision packages. ## Surveying Services in Novar Gardens [Boundary Survey](/boundary-survey/) Standard lots run 500–700 m², many bordering reserve land. We locate all pegs, identify drainage and access easements along park edges, and produce clear boundary plans for fencing, extensions, or sales. [Detail Survey](/detail-survey/) We capture dwelling footprints, outbuildings, driveways, trees, underground services, and levels across your full allotment. Flat terrain keeps fieldwork efficient. Delivered as DXF/DWG and PDF for your designer. [Land Subdivision](/land-subdivision-adelaide/) Allotments of 600 m²+ are increasingly assessed for two-lot division across West Torrens. We check feasibility at quoting, design new lots to meet zoning requirements, and handle the full Land Division lodgement. [Construction Set-Out](/construction-set-out-survey/) We establish building lines and floor levels before slab works — referenced precisely to legal boundaries. Side boundary setbacks in West Torrens are strictly observed; we make sure your build complies from day one. [Identification Survey](/identification-survey/) Confirms that existing structures — home, garage, shed — sit within title boundaries. Frequently needed in Novar Gardens ahead of sales where previous owners have built close to side boundaries or near rear lanes. ## About Novar Gardens Inner south-western suburb, ~8 km from Adelaide CBD in the City of West Torrens Named after Viscount Novar — Governor-General of Australia 1914–1920 — originally to be called Morphettville ~40% of the suburb's 1.8 km² is parks and reserves — unusually high for inner Adelaide Predominantly post-war brick veneer homes on lots between 500–700 m² Flat Adelaide Plain terrain — efficient fieldwork but drainage easements are common Steady owner-occupier demand with growing infill development activity across West Torrens ## Need a Land Surveyor in Novar Gardens?

All development applications, land division approvals, and building consents are lodged with West Torrens council. We know their planning requirements well and tailor surveys to support your specific approval pathway. **Do properties bordering reserves need special survey work?** Yes. Nearly 40% of Novar Gardens is parks and reserves, so many lots directly adjoin reserve land. These sites need careful boundary work to confirm the reserve interface and identify drainage or access easements along those edges. We handle this type of work routinely. **Can I subdivide my Novar Gardens property?** Allotments of 600 m² and above may be eligible for two-lot subdivision under the SA Planning and Design Code and City of West Torrens requirements. We assess feasibility upfront and provide the complete survey package for a Land Division application if you proceed. **How do I confirm my fence is on the boundary?** A boundary survey is the definitive answer. We locate or re-establish all boundary pegs, mark the true legal boundary line, and document any fence-to-boundary offsets. Commonly requested before major fencing works, extensions, or at the time of sale. **How quickly can you complete a survey in Novar Gardens?** Standard boundary and detail surveys are typically completed within 3 to 5 business days from fieldwork. Rush turnarounds are available where schedules allow.
