First off, if he has purchased the land, he should have received from the title company a plot picture showing dimensions of the property from pin to pin. Pins are survey points that are nailed into the ground. Most properties that has recently been surveyed will have these pins because the county assessor needs the property boundaries. Older plots may not have pens. He can use plot picture he received from the title company, and a minimal amount of trigonometry, to determine the acreage (square footage) of the property.
Second, if your dad is interested in purchasing a piece of land, he can go to the county assessor's office and get a plot picture with the dimensions (measurements). There is a small fee to purchase this. And then use trig. to determine the acreage.
Now, if there is no plot picture from the county assessor's office, or he does not believe what he sees, or if he is disputing the actual boundaries such as I am with a fence I am sharing with a neighbor, he can use a state certified surveyor.
The certified surveyor will find the pins, if any (or use a benchmark somewhere nearby), use them to make the measurements, determine the boundaries, send the measurements to the county assessor's office for their records, keep a copy of the survey in their office, and await for you to pick it up after you pay them a fee for their services. The fee can range around $800, sometimes lower depending on where you live; and sometimes higher depending on the complexity of the job.
Then he has the actual "measurements" he can use for whatever reason. It is even admissable in court if he is disputing a boundary.
Hope this helps.

This information should be on the deed, which you father will need in order to complete the sale of the land. Otherwise, the information would be available from the county or city clerk, where they will have maps of each parcel of land in the county or the tax office where annual property taxes are paid. And it may be required that your father have a survey of the land performed in order to verify boundaries of the property, anyway.

You should go to the council - they will have the correct information. Or the real estate agent can look up RP data and it should be in there. (that's if your in Aus)
