Our History
Statewide Survey Group was formed in 1999 under the directorship of career surveyor Walter Ninnes. Since then, Statewide Survey Group has expanded and extended itself to contend as an industry leader, with a stout reputation for quality and consistency of services that we extend to all of our clients. As of February 2024, Walter Ninnes has moved into semi-retirement and sold Statewide Survey Group to Daniel Collett. Daniel is a surveyor with more than 26 years in the industry with a background in Civil Projects, Structural Projects, Aerial Photography and Mine Surveying. Daniel operated a small surveying company for 18 years and managed projects ranging from $75m to $350m value. These projects included Airport upgrades, Rail upgrades, Bridges and Major Road Works.
