Site Analysis Survey
A Site Analysis Survey, also known as ResCode Survey, Site Description, and Site Context Plans, is an essential step in the subdivision process.
For some town planning applications, council will require a survey that displays all of the properties within a minimum 50-meter radius of the proposed development. The Site Analysis Survey helps local councils review the land project and ensure that any proposed development suits the existing neighbourhood character and layout.
Linear Land Surveying offers Site Analysis Surveys across Victoria, helping you to gain approval from the appropriate authority. Our Site Analysis Survey is usually completed as an addition to the Title Re-establishment & Feature and Level Survey Plan.
Site Analysis Plans provide information with respect clause 56 of Council Planning Schemes:
- Roof Information of building/dwellings.
- Building/dwelling details and vehicle access points along the street.
- Fencing types and heights.
- Building/dwelling setback information.
- Proximity to nearby public open space, community & recreational facilities, schools, local shops & public transport.
- Individual house photos.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Site Analysis Surveys may also be called a ResCode Survey, Site Description or Site Context Plan.
You will typically need a Site Analysis Survey as part of town planning applications for subdivision. More specifically, Site Analysis surveys provide local councils with the information required in respect to clause 56 of Council Planning Schemes.
The Site Analysis Survey is used by local councils to review the land project and ensure that any proposed development suits the existing neighbourhood character and layout.
Therefore, a Site Analysis Survey will be required to help you to gain approval from the appropriate authority for your subdivision project.
If you require a Site Analysis Survey, it is very likely that you will also need a Feature & Level Survey and Title Re-establishment Survey to be completed at the same time.
This is because a Site Analysis is an extension of the data captured in a Feature & Level Survey. While a Feature & Level Survey captures the contours, features and significant details of your property (with some limited neighbouring features), a Site Analysis Survey will extend the capture of data past your property’s boundaries to a 50m radius. As your development has triggered the need for a Site Analysis, it will also most likely require an analysis of your property as well.
Similarly, if your proposed plans have resulted in the need for a Site Analysis, it is likely you are developing your land through subdivision. Therefore, a Re-establishment (or Boundary) Survey will be required in order to complete this subdivision process.
The good news is that Linear Land Surveying can complete the fieldwork for these three surveys in the same site visit! Chat with our team to ensure you are capturing the right data for your project.
The time taken to complete a Site Analysis Survey will depend on the size of your property and whether you have also requested a Feature & Level Survey and a Title Re-establishment Survey.
If your property is an average sized residential site within a suburban street, you can expect our team to be onsite for approximately one day. Throughout the day, our team will capture the data to create the relevant plans.
Our team will then require approximately 3-5 business days to draft the Site Analysis Plan (including Feature & Level Survey Plan and Title Re-establishment Plan).
No, our surveyors will not need to enter your home to complete a Site Analysis Survey. They will need to enter your front and backyard to capture the Feature & Level and Title Re-establishment data and will complete most of the Site Analysis capture from the street front.
Your Site Analysis survey will be presented in AutoCAD & PDF format. Our team can also produce a 3D output of survey data with contours and triangles if required. If you have also had a Title Re-establishment completed, we can provide a copy of your up-to-date title.
