No. Cairns Drone Services is not a cadastral surveying practice and does not determine or reinstate legal property boundaries. We provide mapping, property intelligence, field evidence and carefully scoped spatial services. Where a cadastral survey is required, that work should be completed by a registered cadastral surveyor.
Drone photography is primarily visual. Drone mapping uses planned overlapping imagery and processing to create consistent spatial outputs such as orthomosaics, 3D models and terrain products.
Yes, subject to site size, airspace, access and operating conditions. Large rural properties are a core use case for Cairns Drone Services. The final scope can include a current orthomosaic, terrain products, property features and print-ready maps.
Not necessarily. A desktop Property Intelligence Report is designed to provide useful initial context without a field visit. Drone capture or site observations can be added where current field evidence would improve the result.
Straightforward work is generally scheduled with a standard turnaround rather than a permanent rush model. Timing depends on the scope, weather, field access, processing requirements and whether external data needs to be sourced.
Yes, boundaries can be displayed for indicative context using appropriate source data or supplied information. They must not be treated as a legal boundary survey unless the legal boundary has been established by the relevant qualified professional and the display is being used consistently with that source.
Yes, many mapping products support spatial measurements. The appropriate accuracy and reliance depend on the capture method, control and project scope. If the measurement has legal, cadastral or engineering consequences, tell us before the job is scoped.
Yes. Repeat drone capture is particularly useful for construction progress, earthworks, rural property changes and ongoing site records. Historical public aerial imagery can also be reviewed where suitable coverage exists.
Where appropriate, yes. Deliverables are agreed before the job so the client receives the useful outputs rather than an unexplained dump of raw capture files. GIS, image, model and source files can be included where they are part of the agreed scope.
Cairns and Far North Queensland, with travel quoted according to distance, access and project size.
Yes. Cairns Drone Services is designed to complement specialist professional work by providing clear current imagery, mapping, site evidence and organised spatial outputs.
No. Drone work depends on airspace, weather, site access, people, roads, buildings, powerlines, airports, emergency operations and CASA rules. Every field job is checked before capture.
