How long does it take to subdivide our property into four lots?

The time required to subdivide a property can vary based on several factors, including site conditions, council regulations, and the complexity of the project. Generally, the process can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months. This timeline includes feasibility studies, obtaining resource and building consents, and the construction phase. Each stage requires careful planning and compliance with Council's regulations.



What should we know before considering subdividing our property?

Before considering subdivision, it's crucial to understand zoning requirements, site constraints, and local council regulations. Conducting a feasibility study is essential to determine the project's viability. Factors such as land size, access, existing structures, and environmental considerations play a significant role. Consulting with professional engineers and planners can help identify potential challenges and provide a clear roadmap for your project.



What costs are involved in the subdivision process?
