Peter Mulcahy – Peter Mulcahy and Associates
Surveying Victoria for more than 50 years
In 1964, Peter Mulcahy quit his Senior Surveyor position at an established survey practice to follow his dream of being self-employed. He began in Kew, with one employee, and relocated to East Melbourne in 1966, where the practice grew to eight employees.
In the years that followed, Peter Mulcahy and Associates relocated several times within the city, before finally settling at Wellington Parade in 1987.
Over more than 50 years, Peter’s team have worked on thousands of surveying projects across the state, including volunteering their services in the aftermath of the 2009 Victorian bushfires.
