TLTB New Survey
Native land surveys and scheme plans lodged through iTLTB, DTCP, and Lands.
Overview
A TLTB new survey creates the cadastral definition for a new iTaukei lease — from survey instructions through scheme and survey plans that support lease title and registration. On iTaukei land, leasing is administered by the iTaukei Land Trust Board (TLTB), and cadastral lease surveys must be supervised by a registered surveyor under Fiji’s Surveyors Act.

How a TLTB new survey typically progresses
Public TLTB guidance describes a path from application and landowner consent to lease offer, then survey, lease title, and registration at the Titles Office. Scheme plans and survey instructions for new leases form part of TLTB surveying work. Your exact sequence can vary — will review your documents and map the next steps.
Lease offer and survey instructions
After TLTB verifies the application, consults landowners, and issues a lease offer, surveying instructions are given for the lease area. Survey costs may be handled through TLTB’s lease-offer arrangements where a panel surveyor is engaged.
Field survey and scheme plan
Field work defines the proposed lease layout on the ground. Scheme plans support planning and lease design before the final cadastral survey plan is completed for approval pathways that can involve TLTB, planning, and Lands assessment.
Authority coordination
Depending on the development, lodgement and vetting may involve TLTB processes and related agencies (including planning and Lands for plan assessment). Registered-surveyor supervision is required for cadastral lease survey work under the Surveyors Act.
Lease title and registration
When the survey meets TLTB requirements, lease title documentation can proceed and be registered at the Titles Office — completing the path from offer to a registered iTaukei lease.
