Subdivisions are a process that we use to create new parcels of land from a larger parcel. This is usually done in order to sell new parcels of land, but it can also be done for other reasons such as developing new roads or creating new neighbourhoods.
Subdividing or developing your land can seem like an overwhelming experience. Authorities such as your local Council, water, electricity, telecommunications and gas authorities have conditions and standards that must be met throughout the subdivision process. We have the expertise to help you navigate the subdivision process in an efficient and stress-free manner.
Our Subdivisions Manager will work closely with you to ensure your subdivision project proceeds smoothly while liaising with Council and authorities on your behalf to obtain a certified Plan of Subdivision and Statement of Compliance, and ultimately new Titles to your developed land.

Land surveyors are an important part of the land development process. Without them, we would be unsure of where to build structures and the infrastructure needed to support them.
They work closely with other professionals in the building and development industry, such as architects, geologists, builders and engineers, to determine what is possible on any given site.
There are many situations when you may need to seek advice from a land surveyor. In the residential sector, they are used when building houses, subdividing properties, strata surveys and re-establishing boundaries to ensure clarity between neighbours.
In the commercial sector, land surveyors are involved early in developments such as road works, tunnelling, mining projects, high rise buildings, shopping centres, large strata projects and so on.

Yes, in most cases you will need a planning permit from your local council before subdividing land in Victoria. The permit outlines the conditions and requirements that must be satisfied before new titles can be issued. We can guide you through this process if you do not already have a permit.
Yes, if you want each unit to be individually owned, sold or financed separately, you will need to subdivide the development into separate titles. This process is commonly completed through a multi-unit subdivision.
Satisfying all authority service connection requirements ensures each lot is properly serviced with essential infrastructure like water, sewer, power, drainage and telecommunications. In Victoria, this is a key requirement for subdivision approval and is necessary before new titles can be issued.

Stage 1 Planning Permit
Stage 2 Certification
Stage 3 Statement of Compliance
Stage 4 Registration
