UNDERSTANDING A SUBDIVISION FOR YOUR PROPERTY

If you’re looking to subdivide your property, there are three different classifications under which your land can fall. Each of these has a big impact on the nature of the new blocks you’re creating, and the legal and ownership ramifications of each one.

So when it comes to determining the right Subdivision type for your property, make CIVAC your first point of call. We can help understand what you want to achieve with your Subdivision, identify the most appropriate Subdivision Title for your situation, and then manage the process to achieve the Subdivision for you.

The three Subdivision classifications we can help you achieve are:

Torrens Title Subdivision. A Torrens Title Subdivision means that subdividing your land results in two legally separate properties, where the owner of the land title owns the entirety of the building and property on their block. It creates clear delineations of who owns what on each specific subdivided property.
Strata Title Subdivision. A Strata Title Subdivision sees the owners of each subdivided block gain ownership over their specific property, but retain joint ownership over any common property, such as bin areas or driveways.
Community Title Subdivision. A Community Title Subdivision results in the owner of each subdivided lot having ownership of their land, defined by their specific land boundaries, but maintaining joint ownership over shared property and facilities.

So as you can see, it’s important to make sure you’re choosing the right Subdivision type for your land needs.

Here’s how CIVAC helps you obtain approval for your Subdivision.

STARTING THE PROCESS

We meet with you to determine your needs

At CIVAC, our goal is to make your new development as smooth and as seamless as possible.

So our first step is to understand your needs. We can organise a meeting to talk through your Subdivision plans. Our team of Town Planners will determine your development goals for your property, get to understand why you want to subdivide, what you want the outcome to look like, and flag any potential obstacles that we see.

We’ll assess your site and your proposed Subdivision works, review your local Council’s Local Environment Plan and Development Control Plan, and any other relevant legislation, and determine which Subdivision Title is required or even possible in your area.

Once this has been determined, we then begin the process to undertake your Subdivision.

GETTING THE RIGHT INFORMATION

We begin the approvals process

Once our Town Planners determine the right Subdivision Title allowed on your property, we begin the approvals process for you.

The process for any Subdivision requires a lot of groundwork to be done, and there are a range of supporting documents that are needed to support its lodgement.

We help you prepare and gather the necessary supporting documentation to lodge your Subdivision Application. These may include:

Preliminary Strata Plan or a Preliminary Plan of Subdivision
Statement of Environmental Effects
Stormwater Plan (in the case of a Torrens Title Subdivision application)
Various reports, such as an Arborist Report, Traffic Report, etc.
Road design for large scale subdivisions

APPLICATION LODGEMENT

The final step in your Subdivision Approval

Once these plans, reports, and certificates are all prepared and collated, your Project Manager is ready to lodge your Subdivision application to your local Council on your behalf.

Your Project Manager will track and monitor your application, keeping you updated on its progress. They’re on call to answer any questions or queries regarding the project, and can respond to Council on your behalf with any additional information, if needed.

If there’s anything that requires further attention at this stage, we’ll take care of it for you.

All you need to do is wait for approval. When you receive it, it’s time to get started planning your new build.

4 STEP PROCESS

Moving on to construction

Upon receiving Subdivision approval, we can then arrange and manage your physical site works, and lodge all the final paperwork to approval authorities for registration with Land Registry Services.

We can also help you acquire the various approvals you need to see your new build come to life. These can include:

Development Application. A Development Application is typically required for large-scale projects like a new building construction, demolition and rebuild projects, substantial structural changes to an existing premises, or even a change in business activities undertaken on your site.
Complying Development Certificate. A Complying Development Certificate is typically available for smaller building projects, or non-structural renovations and fit-outs to an existing building. Rather than going through multiple steps, a CDC combines both planning and construction approval into one single approval.
Construction Certificate. If you’re constructing a new commercial studio building, or making major additions or renovations to an existing premises.
Occupation Certificate. An Occupation Certificate is required before you or any tenants can move in, and demonstrates that every element of your new development is up to code and complies with your approved plans.
