Property subdivision is the process of dividing a single property into two or more separate land titles.  It is a big project, but one that can unlock a lot of value from your land, and so you want to be sure that you have the right experts to help you through the process.  All subdivisions are unique, but a typical subdivision process will go through the steps as listed below.

Steps to a successful Subdivision:

Obtain a Planning Permit to Develop

A Title Re-establishment survey and Level and Feature Survey will be required for you architect or designer to help you determine the best way to divide and develop your lot of land.

Obtain a Planning Permit to Subdivide

Our licensed surveyor will draw up a proposed Plan of Subdivision and submit it through the SPEAR online system to enable approval from local council and service providers.

Certification of Subdivision and Statement of Compliance

Once all of the conditions of the Subdivision Permit have been fulfilled, our licensed surveyor will submit a final Plan of Subdivision to be certified and have Statement of Compliance issued by your local council.  Conditions that may be required to be completed before the Statement of Compliance is issued may include completion of building works, connection of services and even landscaping.

Registration of new Land Titles

The final approved Plan of Subdivision can now be submitted by your conveyancer to the Land Titles Office so that new Land Titles can be officially issued.

Of course, this is lengthy process, and there can be hiccups along the way, so it's important that your surveyor is not only experienced, but is available to talk to you and help you understand the process.  Our surveyors are very invested in ensuring that each subdivision project proceeds smoothly, and that our customers can rely on prompt and easy to understand advice as it is needed.
