Experts in Regional and Urban Subdivisions

Subdivision isn’t just about drawing lines on a map. It’s a complex planning and approval process that varies significantly depending on:

1. Zone and overlay controls
2. Site features and access
3. Local council policies
4. Utility authority requirements

We’ve delivered successful subdivision outcomes across Victoria, from small 2-lot infill developments to larger rural subdivisions requiring detailed coordination with referral authorities.

We work with:

• Developers and builders
• Mum-and-dad landowners
• Farmers consolidating or reconfiguring titles
• Real estate professionals seeking pre-sale advice

Our Subdivision Support Includes:

Planning Permit Applications

We prepare full planning applications for subdivision under Clause 32.08, 32.09, 35.07, 35.03 and other relevant controls, ensuring your proposal meets planning scheme requirements and council expectations.

Site Layout Design

Our team works with experienced drafters to develop compliant subdivision layouts, informed by site constraints, access, zones, overlays, and services.

Coordination of Supporting Reports

We coordinate required technical reports such as:

• Land Capability Assessments (LCA)
• Bushfire Management Statements (BMS)
• Cultural Heritage Management Plans (CHMP)
• Feature & Level Surveys
• Infrastructure servicing advice (e.g. Central Highlands Water)

Title Consolidations & Lot Reconfiguration

Need to reconfigure multiple lots into a single parcel, or undertake a boundary realignment? We prepare and lodge the relevant planning applications and manage council processes.

Subdivision Project Management

From planning permit to Statement of Compliance, we can manage the end-to-end subdivision process in partnership with your surveyor. This includes liaising with referral authorities, reviewing engineering plans, managing SPEAR submissions, and ensuring conditions are met.

How Does the Subdivision Process Work?

Subdivision in Victoria typically follows five broad stages:

• Feasibility and Site Assessment
• Planning Permit Application
• Engineering Design and Certification
• Subdivision Certification (via SPEAR)
• Statement of Compliance & Title Registration

Every site is different. Timelines, authority requirements, and costs can vary based on your location, land use zone, overlays, and service connections.

NB: We’ll soon be publishing a full guide on the subdivision process in Victoria – This will be a blog post, and will need to be linked from here.
