Welcome to Rowlands Surveys Pty Ltd, Consulting Surveyors. Rowlands Surveys is one of North Queensland’s largest and most well-respected surveying firms. Rowlands has earned its reputation for outstanding service delivered by local crews with the experience to take on complex projects. With five survey crews equipped with mine-compliant vehicles and modern equipment, Rowlands is ready to hit the ground running. Known for its exceptional work across a wide range of projects, Rowlands takes on the smallest of residential jobs through to major land, commercial and infrastructure projects, solar farms and commercial developments. By providing quality plans and data at the beginning of a project Rowlands saves time for flow-on consultants, who can trust that the information is accurate. Located at 22 Gorden Street in Garbutt, not far from the Townsville Airport, Rowlands is easily accessible for ongoing consultation.
For over four decades, we at Rowlands Surveys have provided expert land surveying solutions across Garbutt and the wider North Queensland region. Established in 1981, we’ve built our reputation on accuracy, reliability, and a thorough understanding of land development requirements. Our experienced team works closely with developers, engineers, and local councils to ensure projects—from small house lots to large-scale infrastructure developments—are built on solid groundwork. We combine traditional knowledge with modern technology, delivering results that meet the standards.
Our surveying services cover all stages of planning and development. Whether it’s detail and level surveys, boundary realignments, or subdivision and amalgamation plans, we can support residential builds, commercial sites, and high-rise developments. We also specialise in infrastructure and engineering projects, offering services for roads, bridges, flood studies, and council works, equipping ourselves to deliver LiDAR and aerial mapping along with scanning and point cloud surveys too. Whatever the scale or complexity, we ensure every detail is captured and documented with precision.
From mining leases and exploration setouts to volumetric surveys and strata titles, our work spans diverse sectors and land types. We handle lease surveys, tenancies, and location certificates, as well as assist with civil construction, stockpile management, and extraction volume assessments. We aim to simplify the surveying process while maintaining the highest standard of data accuracy and regulatory compliance. By combining industry experience with the latest tools, we make sure your project has the critical spatial information it needs to move forward smoothly. Call us today!

FAQs
What is a land survey, and why is it important?
A land survey is the measurement and mapping of land and its features. It ensures legal boundaries are clear and projects are accurately planned and executed.
What is the difference between a subdivision and amalgamation survey?
A subdivision survey splits a parcel of land into two or more lots, while an amalgamation survey combines two or more lots into one.
What is an identification survey?
An identification survey outlines existing improvements relative to property boundaries and confirms any encroachments or legal concerns.
What are easement and lease surveys?
Easement surveys identify rights of access or use over a property, while lease surveys define the spatial area included in a lease agreement.
What is a detailed level survey?
It’s a topographic survey that captures the contours, features, and levels of a site, often required before designing or developing on land.
How does LiDAR surveying work?
LiDAR uses laser pulses from airborne sensors to collect detailed 3D data of the earth’s surface, often used in large-scale mapping and flood modelling.
How long does a typical survey take?
Timeframes vary depending on the size and complexity of the site, but most small-scale surveys can be completed within a few days to a week.
Are your surveys accepted by local councils and authorities?
Yes, our surveys comply with all relevant Australian standards and are suitable for submission to councils, planning bodies, and legal entities.
Can you survey for building setouts and construction?
Yes, we provide building setouts for residential, commercial, and industrial construction, ensuring everything is built in the correct location.
When do I need a boundary survey?
You need a boundary survey when buying or selling property, building near a property line, or resolving boundary disputes.
