PDA Surveyors was established in Hobart in 1953 by Tony Peacock who was later joined by Max Darcey and Peter Anderson to become a state-wide surveying business. Initially trading as Peacock Darcey & Anderson Pty Ltd, PDA Surveyors originally provided exclusively professional surveying services.

PDA Surveyors is now a multi-disciplinary company with extensive expertise in the areas of land and engineering surveying, civil engineering and town planning. Our team of Surveyors, Engineers and Planners have a wealth of experience, having undertaken countless projects that have shaped Tasmania as we know it today.

In 2018, PDA Surveyors merged with Walter Surveys. Walter Surveys was founded by Tom Walter and has grown rapidly which is a reflection of Tom’s hard work and dedicated service to his clients. The companies complement each other’s capabilities and have combined to create a larger and more diverse workforce. Together, we have more resources and even greater capacity for exceptional work.

With eight regional offices across Tasmania, PDA Surveyors’ clients are consistently provided with a timely, efficient and reliable service. Our focus is on providing professional services that are tailored to our clients’ individual needs, combined with utilising the very latest in technological advances. We use the very latest in technology, ranging from real-time kinematic positioning based on global navigation satellite systems (RTK GNSS), robotic total station, laser scanner and unmanned aerial vehicle surveys. Our uptake of the latest advances in our field enable us to achieve the most effective and cost-efficient results for every client.

With a commitment to the ongoing development and improvement of our State, PDA Surveyors are proud to offer industry leading surveying, engineering and planning services. Read more about our services to learn about how our team can bring your project to fruition.
