How Does It Work Out

The two main types of subdivision include Greenfield Subdivision and Infill Subdivision. In the Greenfield subdivision, the land which was not developed previously is developed. In Infill Subdivision, the prevailing block of land is divided into smaller plots.

HOW DOES THE SUBDIVISION PLANNING AND PROCESS WORK?

Understanding how the subdivision work will make it clear whether the land is worthy of being subdivided. A few key questions to find answers to our –

The land is complying with the local zoning laws. So, check with your local council to check whether the property is located in the area having subdivision permission. Ideally, the land has to be relatively flat for reducing construction costs and access.

1. First, Verify Whether Subdivision Is At All Possible.

The land is conforming to the local council's minimum lot size. Now this is variable depending on where you are living. Nevertheless, the good rule of thumb is to have usable land measuring a minimum of 7535 square feet. There is enough space for another driveway installation.

2. Get In Touch With An Expert

Once the assessment has been done, it is time to get in touch with an expert to explore the professional perspective on subdivision plan ideas. You will have to consult a surveyor, an experienced builder, and a certified town planner. They can provide better advice regarding zoning, the minimum lot size, and overlays. The new development impacts the planning overlay identity environment features. There are cases when subdivisions might not be permitted because of protected vegetation, bushfire risk, flooding, and protected buildings' location.

3. Sending An Application for Planning Permission

Now the development proposal has to be put together under the guidance of both the builder and surveyor. So, the suggestions on land splitting have to be outlined. The plans should comprise the proposed house, car parks, or driveways.

So, the subdivision project that you are considering is meant to be worked on in collaboration with a professional team comprising a surveyor, a lawyer, and a planner. Only then will the project be smoothly completed according to all local regulations.
