Our Land Subdivision Process
Step 1: Understand Your Subdivision Project
We will get a sense of your project and determine what type of subdivision you’re planning. A land subdivision involves dividing undeveloped land into two or more lots. A building subdivision uses the face or centreline of an existing structure to determine new property boundaries.
Step 2: Apply for a Permit
Next, we will help you apply for a planning permit. This permit will specify the parameters and conditions your subdivision must meet upon completion.
Step 3: Seek Council Certification
You will also need to submit a Plan for Subdivision with the Local Council that a licensed surveyor has prepared. We’ll create this plan on your behalf and ensure that it includes all the necessary details for approval.
Step 4: Satisfy the Conditions of the Permit
Once you’ve received your planning permit, we will liaise between you and the stakeholders to ensure that your subdivision meets all the conditions detailed in the permit document.
Step 5: Obtain a Statement of Compliance
Council issues a Statement of Compliance once all the planning permit condition have been satisfied. ALL Spatial will liaise between the developer, Referral Authorities and Council to effectively facilitate the issue of Statement of Compliance. This document includes detailed evidence showing that you have met the permit requirements.
Step 6: Release the Documents
Finally, we’ll release the Plan of Subdivision to your legal representative, who can lodge the plan with the Titles Office. If you have any further questions about your permit or title application, we are available to help.
