View an example of a reason for the realignment of the common boundary

If you have engaged a Land Surveyor and been advised that you can or need to re-align a common boundary, it’s likely that you will know the reason for this type of subdivision.

Boundary re-alignments often occur where both parties benefit, and the net sum benefit is zero or not “significant”.

The realignment of an existing common boundary may be to address an encroachment problem due to a building error or change in the use of the land. It may for instance, seek to accommodate an existing driveway, retaining wall or building. Alternatively, it may just be an exchange of vacant land between neighbours.
