Western Australian Land Surveyors Licensing Board
All Land Surveyors (Cadastral Surveyors) are licensed under the Licensed Surveyors Act 1909. In order to complete “authorised surveys” licensed surveyors are required to hold Practicing Certificates that ensure the Surveyor achieves a level of standard in their work and maintains that standard. To maintain the standard, Licensed Surveyors are required to achieve professional development points by attending seminars and workshops. Authorised surveys typically are surveys required under the Transfer of Land Act as subdivisions or surveys to re-establish boundaries of land that have been previously established. To check if your surveyor holds these relevant certificates or to view a copy of the Act please use the link below.
Western Australian Local Government Association

WALGA are the combined voice of local governments giving greater service to their residents on a higher political level.

Surveying and Spatial Science Institute of Australia
The Spatial Sciences Institute is a national body catering for the professional people who make up the spatial information industry. It gives a voice to the members of the spatial science community in both the national and international arena. The Spatial Sciences Institute takes advantage of economies of scale, standardised administrative procedures across the nation, and centralised functions, where that is of advantage to members, but with service delivery maintained at the regional level to ensure the needs of members are understood and met.
