COMMITTED TO SUPERIOR SERVICE

OUR HISTORY

HOW IT STARTED

Sunshine Coast based CadCon Surveying & Town Planning originated from a joint venture between Cullen & Couper Pty Ltd, a Hervey Bay firm of consulting surveyors and town planners, and M. H. Lodewyk Pty Ltd, a Mt Isa firm of geodetic and consulting surveyors.

SEPTEMBER 2001

In September 2001 John Gillespie, a Director, Licensed Surveyor and Town Planner at C&C, and Steve Egan, a Licensed Surveyor at MHL opened a new surveying and town planning office at Maroochydore trading as Cullen & Couper (Maroochydore). At that time, we were engaged in a major contract with Maroochy Shire to create a spatially accurate digital cadastre across the entire Shire. We subsequently went on to undertake a similar project for Noosa Council ensuring that the position of property boundaries within the mapping databases used by these councils was accurate to better than ±0.1m in urban areas – significantly enhancing Council’s business processes. Another major client on the Sunshine Coast at the time was Blacklaw Civil Contractors. Having opened the office we soon found our expertise and experience was being called upon across the services that we specialise in – Surveying, Town Planning and Underground Service Location.

APRIL 2005

In April of 2005 John Gillespie and Steve Egan purchased C&C (Maroochydore) and renamed it to CadCon Surveying & Town Planning to better reflect the services we provide – Cad being a shortening of cadastral or property surveys, and Con being a shortening of consortium, reflecting the original ownership structure of the surveying and town planning company.

WHERE WE ARE NOW

Cadcon continues to service the Sunshine Coast providing expert and experienced Surveying, Town Planning, 3D Scanning and Underground Service Location services.

OUR DISCIPLINES

ABOUT LAND SURVEYING & TOWN PLANNING

subdivision 3d render and finalised drone shot

What is a surveyor?

The International Federation of Surveyors describes a Surveyor as “a professional person with the academic qualifications and technical expertise to practice the science of measurement; to assemble and assess land and geographic related information; to use that information for the purpose of planning and implementing the efficient administration of the land, the sea and structures thereon; and to instigate the advancement and development of such practices”.

What is a planner?

The Planning Institute of Australia says that planners “guide and manage the way suburbs, cities and regions develop, making sure that they are good places in which to live, work and play. Planners are involved in making decisions about land use proposals and other types of developments whilst balancing the needs of communities and the environment”.

Importance of planners

Further “The role of planners is becoming more important, as society places greater emphasis on balancing environmental and development issues, promoting liveable communities and securing high quality urban design”.

In today’s world there is ever-increasing competition between different land uses. To enable an appropriate land use for a site and to achieve a successful development approval, all existing and future constraints and opportunities must be accurately identified, measured, described and accounted for – both on site and on adjoining land. CadCon Surveying and Town Planning combines the practical measurement, land administration, interpretation and presentation skills of the Surveyor with the land use knowledge of the Town Planner and their ability to guide, assess and mitigate the effects of differing land uses. This combination allows us to prepare and present accurate and comprehensive detail surveys, proposal plans, proposal reports and development applications in order to facilitate our clients’ land development projects.

“I just wanted to say that we have been really happy with Elise’s work and help throughout this whole ordeal (I would call it a process but it has been a bit more full on than that) so I just wanted to say thanks again. The communication, clarity and timeliness of all of our dealings has been great!”

As a company that deals with mainly surveying firms, I can say that all work performed by Cadcon is of a very high standard. Information supplied to us is clear & precise. There is never a panic to get projects completed & all accounts are paid in full & on time. This tells me that there are good systems in place within their organisation & that all projects are completed with the upmost integrity.

I am currently constructing a small development on a Main Road near the centre of Maroochydore. I contracted CadCon to put together and lodge my Material Change of Use with the Sunshine Coast Regional Council. As this was my first development application, I placed my full trust in John and his team and was rewarded for this. They have worked with me and helped my understand the process as well the requirements and restrictions of the council for this area…

You see I am very grateful for all the work you & your staff put into Mallard Crt. It seemed to be a project that was constantly plagued with incompetent parties. C & C on the other hand at all time were very professional & thorough. I am sure that this project may have never taken off if C & C were not involved from the outset. So for this John I am very appreciative of the efforts you have shown over the past 2 years. I hope that we can continue to work together for many more to come.

I would like to express Noosa Councils satisfaction in the outcome achieved by you and your team with our recent Cadastral upgrade. Even though a high level of accuracy was specified by us, (10cm Urban / 50cm Rural over 95% of parcels) you not only managed to adhere to this, but were also in most cases 2-3 times the accuracy required. This has left us with a Cadastre that we will be able to accurately depend upon for many years to come. Your ability to assist us with the adjustment of our existing 5000+ datasets through distortion modelling was also of huge benefit to us.
