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.

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.
You need a boundary survey when buying or selling property, building near a property line, or resolving boundary disputes.
It’s a topographic survey that captures the contours, features, and levels of a site, often required before designing or developing on land.
A subdivision survey splits a parcel of land into two or more lots, while an amalgamation survey combines two or more lots into one.
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.
Easement surveys identify rights of access or use over a property, while lease surveys define the spatial area included in a lease agreement.
Yes, we provide building setouts for residential, commercial, and industrial construction, ensuring everything is built in the correct location.
An identification survey outlines existing improvements relative to property boundaries and confirms any encroachments or legal concerns.
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.
Yes, our surveys comply with all relevant Australian standards and are suitable for submission to councils, planning bodies, and legal entities.
