Surveyor-General Victoria undertakes an audit program to monitor the standard of lodged surveys and to gauge licensed surveyors’ compliance with regulations and directives.
The program’s main objectives are:
• Improve the quality and standard of cadastral surveys
• Ensure the integrity of the cadastre is not diminished
• Protect the community
Survey Audit Program
Surveys for audits are selected generally based on surveyor, not survey. An audit is typically performed “pre-registration”
The criteria for selecting licensed surveyors for audit is based on the following six-level priority system:
1. Surveyors who continually perform below standard
2. Surveyors whose last audit was unsatisfactory
3. Surveyors from interstate who receive a licence under reciprocal
arrangements
4. Surveyors who have never been audited
5. Newly Licensed Surveyors
6. Surveyors who have not been audited for 3 years
Survey Audit Program provides further details of the audit program and includes links to audit checklist.
