1. Understand what Property Subdivision is
Subdivision is one of the quickest ways to potentially make a profit through property. So what is subdivision and can I develop my subdivided land?
Examples of a subdivision or reconfiguring a lot include:
- Subdividing one lot to make two or more lots.
- Rearranging the boundaries of a lot.
- Dividing lots into parts by agreement (community title scheme).
- Creating an access easement.
- Subdividing an existing duplex or dual occupancy to create two detached freehold dwellings.
Subdivision is code assessable in all zones within the City Plan Part 5.6 Tables of Assessment (version 10 now in effect), provided the required lot sizes can be met. Code assessable means your development application will be assessed against all the applicable codes in the Gold Coast City Plan and is an anticipated outcome if consistent with the City Plan. If your proposed lot sizes are less that then stated minimum, then an impact assessment development application will need to be lodged.
2. Identify Your Zone and Minimum Lot Size requirements
Whether you can subdivide your property will be determined by your current local plan zoning and minimum lot size. To work out the minimum lot size for your subdivision you can call Elevate to:
- Identify the zone your property is in.
- Identify if your property has any overlays which impact minimum lot size i.e., Minimum lot size overlay etc.
- Once we have the relevant property and planning information, we can advise on the requirements accordingly.
