Witchcliffe EcoVillage
Land development survey support for a sustainable residential community in Witchcliffe, South West WA, including survey control, topographic surveys, subdivision set-out, machine control modelling, UAV orthomosaics, as-constructed records, sewer DS-80 documentation, R-Spec and D-Spec records and underground services documentation.
Witchcliffe EcoVillage required coordinated land development survey support across Stage 1 of a sustainable residential community in Witchcliffe, South West WA. Noble Surveys supported Witchcliffe EcoVillage with survey control, topographic and feature surveys, subdivision set-out, machine control modelling, UAV orthomosaics, earthworks quantities and as-constructed survey records across approximately 200 lots and 48 hectares.
Survey workflows supported roads, pathways, drainage, sewer, water, power, communications, shared paths, retaining walls, open space and community infrastructure. Field and office teams maintained consistent control, model updates, surface comparisons and underground services records so project stakeholders could review progress, quantities and as-constructed documentation.

Scope of work
Comprehensive survey coverage for Stage 1 delivery
Land development activities required rotating survey coverage across lots, roads, pathways, services and community spaces. Survey crews, UAV capture and machine control workflows helped civil workfronts reference the same design models, control network and reporting standards.
- •Survey control network establishment and maintenance across Stage 1 of the development.
- •Topographic and feature surveys before and during land development works.
- •Subdivision and land development set-out for lots, roads, pathways, drainage and services.
- •Roads, pathways, lot levels, retaining walls, shared paths, open space and community infrastructure survey support.
- •Sewer, water, drainage, power and communications service set-out and as-constructed records.
- •Machine control design modelling, file preparation, uploads/support, model updates and surface comparisons.
- •UAV capture and orthomosaic mapping for roads, pathways, progress review and as-constructed support.
- •Earthworks quantities, volume checks, progress claim support and surface comparison records.
- •Sewer DS-80, R-Spec and D-Spec as-constructed records prepared for review.
- •Road and earthworks as-constructed survey records and underground services documentation.
Survey methods & technology
Survey technology supporting subdivision delivery
GNSS, total stations, UAV capture, machine control modelling and TBC/Civil 3D workflows helped construction activities reference project control while data moved between field and office teams.
- •Trimble GNSS RTK workflows for control, set-out, pickups and as-constructed survey coverage.
- •Total station support where higher-precision lot corners, services and structure checks were required.
- •UAV capture for orthomosaics, progress context and as-constructed support.
- •Machine control modelling and guidance support for earthworks, roads and shared paths.
- •Trimble Business Center (TBC) and Civil 3D workflows for surfaces, machine control files, DWG/DXF and reporting outputs.
- •Surface comparison workflows for earthworks quantities, progress claim support and design verification.
- •Digital level workflows for lot levels, retaining walls and finished surface verification.
Reporting & deliverables
Land development documentation prepared for review
Reporting packages gave Witchcliffe EcoVillage and project stakeholders structured evidence of set-out, quantities, as-constructed records and underground services documentation prepared for review.
- •Set-out records for lots, roads, pathways, drainage, services and community infrastructure prepared for review.
- •Topographic and feature survey data captured across the development.
- •Machine control models, model issue records, file updates and surface comparison records.
- •UAV orthomosaics and spatial outputs prepared for review.
- •Earthworks quantities, volume checks and progress claim support packages.
- •Sewer DS-80 as-constructed records prepared for review.
- •R-Spec and D-Spec as-constructed records prepared for review.
- •Road and earthworks as-constructed survey records prepared for review.
- •Underground services documentation for sewer, water, drainage, power and communications.
- •DWG/DXF outputs, PDF plans, point files and surface models prepared for review.
- •Documentation prepared for contractor, superintendent, consultant or asset-owner review.
Project challenges
Coordinating survey across a sustainable community development
Stage 1 required consistent survey coverage across approximately 200 lots and 48 hectares, including roads, pathways, services and community infrastructure. Survey teams balanced machine control modelling, UAV capture, underground services records and as-constructed submissions for sewer DS-80, R-Spec and D-Spec requirements.
- •Large 48 hectare Stage 1 development area.
- •Approximately 200 lots and multiple civil workfronts operating simultaneously.
- •Complex design data requiring conversion into machine control and machine guidance workflows.
- •Coordination of roads, pathways, drainage, sewer, water, power, communications, shared paths and community infrastructure.
- •Maintaining consistent control and model versions across earthworks, services and road construction.
- •UAV orthomosaic and as-constructed capture across evolving work areas.
- •Preparing sewer DS-80, R-Spec and D-Spec as-constructed records.
- •Supporting sustainable development requirements without making environmental compliance claims.
Outcome
Survey, UAV and machine control workflows helped the project team maintain consistent control, design models and as-constructed records across Stage 1 of the Witchcliffe EcoVillage development. Sewer DS-80, R-Spec and D-Spec records, underground services documentation, earthworks quantities and UAV orthomosaics gave project stakeholders structured information for review and handover.
