Torrens Title
Subdivision

A SUBDIVISION OPTION FOR CLEAR LEGAL OWNERSHIP

If you’re looking to subdivide your property, there are different classifications under which your land can fall.

Torrens Title Subdivision means that when you subdivide your land, it results in two legally separate properties, where the owner of the land title owns the building on the land.

This can be a good option when you want to create clear delineations of ownership over any buildings on the land.

But it’s not as easy as it sounds. The catch is that every local Council operates differently. They have different development controls in place that govern how they deal with Torrens Title Subdivisions.

So whether you’re looking at subdividing a vacant property, or your property has an existing dual occupancy already on it, our team of highly experienced Town Planners and Project Managers can assist you in getting it right.

With over twenty years of combined experience and Town Planners who have worked as development assessment officers at various Councils, we streamline the process for you. We also offer a range of services that allow us to control the approval process, and deliver it in a more efficient and cost-effective way.

These services include:

Preliminary Plan of Subdivision
Stormwater Engineering Plan
Statement of Environmental Effects
Completion of forms and lodgement to approval authorities

So when you’re looking at subdividing your land, your first point of call should be CIVAC.

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. Our highly experienced 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 whether a Torrens Title Subdivision is possible or even relevant for 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 that a Torrens Title Subdivision is allowed on your property, we begin the approvals process for you.

The process for a Torrens Title Subdivision requires a lot of groundwork to be done, and there is 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
Various reports, such as an Arborist Report, Traffic Report, etc.
Road design for large scale subdivisions

APPLICATION LODGEMENT

The final step in your Subdivision

Once these plans, reports, and certificates are all prepared and collated, your Project Manager is ready to lodge your Torrens Title Subdivision 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.

YOUR TORRENS TITLE SUBDIVISION IS APPROVED

Moving on to construction

Upon receiving Torrens Title 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 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 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.
