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.
Types of Land Subdivision We Help With
Our land surveyors assist with subdivision projects, including:
- Land subdivision: Subdividing undeveloped land
- Building subdivision: Subdividing an existing building or a new build such as unit development or duplex
- Commercial subdivision: Dividing commercial property into two or more lots
For most residential subdivision projects, you will get a Torrens title. The most common register for land held in Victoria, a Torrens title maintains a register of land holdings and provides conclusive evidence of ownership.
Why Should You Consider Subdividing Land?
You may decide to subdivide your land to:
- Sell off a segment of the land that you no longer use
- Create new titles for a dual occupancy or building development
- Increase the value of your property by establishing several lots

When Are Land Subdivisions Needed?
If you want to sell or transfer a portion of your land, you must complete a formal land subdivision. You can’t sell any portion of your land without going through the land subdivision process and obtaining a new title for the subdivided parcel of land you wish to sell.
Ownership of a parcel of land or unit cannot be transferred to another person’s name unless there is a separate title.
