Here’s a simplified guide on how to proceed:

Preliminary Assessment

Before anything else, it’s crucial to determine whether your land can be subdivided. This involves reviewing the local council’s development plan to understand zoning regulations, minimum lot sizes, and other constraints that could impact your project.

Sawley Lock O’Callaghan can conduct this preliminary assessment, advising on the feasibility of your subdivision project.

Engage a Surveyor

Subdividing land requires detailed plans that only a licensed surveyor can provide. The surveyor will map out the proposed lots and identify any easements or encroachments.

Sawley Lock O’Callaghan can manage this step by coordinating with our experienced surveyors to ensure your subdivision plan meets all regulatory requirements.

Council Approval Process

Once submitted, the council will review the development application.

This process can take several months and may involve consultations with public utilities and other stakeholders. Sawley Lock O’Callaghan can act as your representative during this period, liaising with the council and addressing any issues that arise.

One less thing for you to have to worry about.

Compliance with Conditions of Approval

If the council approves your subdivision, they will likely impose conditions that must be met before the subdivision can be finalised.

These conditions often relate to infrastructure improvements, such as road upgrades or the installation of water and sewerage services.

Sawley Lock O’Callaghan can oversee the fulfillment of these conditions, coordinating with contractors and service providers on your behalf, should you need some help finding the right people to do the work.

Finalising the Subdivision

After all conditions have been satisfied, the final step is to apply for the subdivision to be registered with the Land Titles Office. This involves submitting a copy of the endorsed plan of subdivision and evidence that all council conditions have been met.

Sawley Lock O’Callaghan can handle this final submission, ensuring that your new titles are issued promptly.
