University of Melbourne

Landair Surveys has partnered with a range of architecture, conservation, and construction professionals to deliver more than a decade’s worth of surveying projects across the University of Melbourne’s metropolitan and regional campuses.

Founded in 1853, the University of Melbourne is Victoria’s oldest tertiary institution and is widely recognised as Australia’s top-ranking university. With ten faculties spanning medicine, law, business, science, and engineering, the university operates eight campuses across the state, including key sites at Parkville, Creswick, Burnley, and Southbank.

Since 2014, Landair has completed over 60 individual surveying projects across four campuses. These have ranged from detailed 3D laser scans and rooftop drone flyovers to underground services surveys and construction setouts. A particular focus has been placed on the university’s significant heritage assets, including Parkville’s iconic Old Quad and historic forestry buildings at Creswick.

Landair’s scope of work has included:

– 20 laser scanning surveys of building façades and interiors

– 15 feature surveys supporting master planning and design

– 14 RPA flyovers capturing high-resolution rooftop conditions

– 7 underground services surveys for infrastructure upgrades

– 5 structural monitoring surveys

– 2 construction setout projects

– 2,500+ surveying hours across four campuses

Combining aerial and terrestrial data, Landair has produced a wide range of deliverables including façade elevation drawings, feature and title plans, building sections, and underground services layouts. Many of these data sets have supported heritage restoration, capital works planning, and ongoing facilities management.
