Based in Adelaide (South Australia) our firm provides surveying and associated services throughout the State.  It is our aim to provide our clients with a very high standard of professional services.

A Torrens Title is a single certificate of title for an allotment of land. It is the most common type of title in South Australia, and the majority of land divisions in South Australia involve the division of land into Torrens Title land parcels. Our firm is engaged to administer many land division applications each year and we believe that we are experts in the field. With Sawley Lock O’Callaghan, your project will be handled by an experienced and efficient team – and our reputation depends in the provision of quality advice and service to our clients. Whether you have never previously been involved with a land division, or whether you are an experienced developer of land – you can be confident that Sawley Lock O’Callaghan can provide you with the expertise and service that you need.

Community Title divisions involve the division of land into land parcels (Lots) and Common Property. Each lot has its own Certificate of Title and can therefore be bought and sold separately, just as with Torrens Title allotments. The Community Title scheme though has areas of Common Property, which can be used for common areas (such as shared driveways, or recreation space) or associated with the provision of common service infrastructure to the various lots (e.g. water, electricity, gas and sewer services). The boundaries for each lot in a Community Division are defined by dimensions (bearings and distances) just as allotment boundaries are defined in Torrens Title divisions. Besides residential development, there are many other examples where a Community Division can be used – including for commercial and industrial premises, agricultural, viticultural and horticultural land, and many others. Some of these developments may be large estates with a large number of lots. We will be very happy to assist you with your Community Division.

Community Strata divisions are often associated with multi storey developments, where lots exist above other lots. A plan sheet depicting the various lots is drawn for each level of the building. The boundaries for each lot are defined by the physical buildings and structures themselves – there are generally no dimensions shown to individual lot boundaries. This means that in a new building development, the Community Strata process cannot be completed until the building structure is complete and the boundaries are defined by the structures. The structure of a building is considered to be part of the Common Property of the Community Scheme. A Community Strata division can be used for existing or new developments, for as few as two lots, or for a large number of lots in multi storey developments. We can undertake the preparation of the land division application and the necessary survey and plan preparation work that will lead to the creation of your Community Strata scheme and its individual lots.

Sawley Lock O’Callaghan has completed many small to large scale subdivision estates for a variety of residential, commercial, industrial and rural living uses. These commissions involve the planning, surveying and monitoring of applications on behalf of clients.

We take pride in offering a “one-stop shop” for developers seeking to undertake a major land subdivision. We offer a Project Management service that manages the subdivision from start to finish. We not only are involved in the planning and field surveying processes, but we can manage the construction phase of the subdivision – overseeing the engineering requirements of subdivisions and the building of roads and service infrastructure.

We specialise in assisting rural land owners with land division applications to divide or re-align land parcels, and in creating rural living sized allotments around farm houses. Our company has always been experts in the provision of rural surveying services. Our director Max Sayer grew up in the mid north of the state and consults regularly in rural areas, and our other director Damian Brogden has consulted in the Riverland and other areas for many years.

Crown land is common in parts of South Australia including in many rural areas. A large part of our practice is based on rural land surveying, and we are well equipped to assist in surveying and land division matters involving Crown Land.
