Although subdivision can bring in a lot of money for landowners, it is not always profitable. To be eligible for this privilege, you must meet the Council's requirements. There will be a variety of planning and surveying services depending on the type of land that is being subdivided. For most types of subdivision, a Development Application (DA), must be filed with the local Council.

Assess the feasibility of a subdivision before you commit large sums of money. A feasibility assessment in subdivision survey can help you identify the opportunities and limitations of potential development sites. It will also provide information about lot size, zoning, stormwater drainage, existing easements, covenants, or restrictions. Although many Councils permit the construction of a second residence on land within residential areas, you will need to meet certain planning criteria.
