Performing increasingly sensitive surveys is a fundamental endeavour of astronomy. Over the past 60 years, the depth, fidelity, and resolution of radio surveys has continuously improved. However, new, upgraded and planned instruments are capable of revolutionising this area of research. The International Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) is one such instrument. LOFAR offers a transformational increase in radio survey speed compared to existing radio telescopes. It also opens up a poorly explored low-frequency reg
