So let’s begin!
What Is A Plan Of Subdivision?
A subdivision plan represents the way you divide the land into smaller pieces so you can own, sell, or rent them separately. Under a subdivision plan, each lot has an independent title and must be registered and approved for development and has rates payable (and may be subject to land tax ).
The process can create easements, restrictions, and owner corporations. It can also remove or change existing easements and restrictions with a planning permit or a planning scheme. (Refer Section 32 of the Subdivision Act 1988 Vic)
In Victoria, subdivisions are approved by the local council through the Planning Legislation. This ensures that land is used in a sustainable way and considers a variety of other factors, including neighborhood amenity, environmental, social, and economic concerns.
If your land is mortgaged, the lender will need to consent.
Why A Subdivision Plan Should Be Considered Early – ASAP
If you buy land without first getting formal approval, you can face many problems and liability – you buy it , you own the problems !
For example, if the lots are not on a registered plan, the water supply may not be usable, or the road may not be well-maintained. Developers who have bought land can face trouble selling it because the ownership or title is in question.
A timely subdivision approval process ensures that:
- Your land & services are suitable for the new authorised use.
- The proposal meets all of the requirements in the community’s official planning and zoning and provincial laws and policies.
- Minimise the risk of getting your development plan rejected at a later stage.
- Your community, as a whole, is safe from developments that are not appropriate or may put an undue strain on environmental resources.
Ticking off all the boxes with the right permits and consents maximises return on investment. So if you’re considering a subdivision of land, let’s set out a preliminary concept subdivision plan.
Plan Of Subdivision Short Checklist – The Requirements For Approval
The preliminary subdivision plan is the first step where you set out the procedure with surveys and certifications.
Along the process, you’re also are to meet several statutory requirements for the plan. This includes getting your engineering plan, and strata plan of subdivision approved.
Here’s the complete plan of subdivision checklist to put your process into perspective:
1. Land Survey With A Licensed Professional
Subdivision is a complicated process that requires certain legal requirements to be followed. A licensed land surveyor must oversee the application process. The council also recommends surveying your land as the first step before applying for a permit.
A land surveyor will also be responsible for compiling relevant documents and data about your land to apply for a planning permit aligned with the Subdivisions Act. So ensure to bring an expert professional in Victoria on board.
2. Planning Permit Application
The surveyor or SSH will apply for a permit to develop the land in question with subdivision.
If the permit is approved, this will mean that the subdivision proposal meets the requirements of the Planning Commission. The permit will also set the general conditions under which the subdivision can be approved and registered completely.
This is also where the council will highlight any legal or construction requirements based on zoning and regulatory laws.
3. Local Council Certification
To get your plan approved, you must submit it to the council for certification. Certification ensures that the plan meets the Subdivision Act 1988, the planning permit requirements, and any referral authorities.
You will need to get approvals for any engineering plans (if required) and complete any work. Once you have obtained a certificate of planning, you will be advised of the conditions that need to be met to obtain final approval and registration.
4. Statement Of Compliance
The subdivision process requires that you get a statement of compliance from the council to finalise a plan of subdivision.
This final approval letter from the council confirms that all the requirements for the subdivision have been covered, and you can officially register each property with independent titles.
5. Land Title Registration
The certified subdivision plan will show where your new lot will be located, and the compliance statement will tell the government that you have followed all the rules.
Finally, the last step is to submit the plan and statement of compliance at Land Use Victoria. Once approved, the new titles will be assigned to each lot.
How Long Does It Take To Register A Plan Of Subdivision In Victoria?
The planning process can take a while, depending on the plan’s particulars.
For example, depending on the complexity, it can take at least 3/6/9 months he surveyor involved, and on average, it can take 12 – 18 months to register your plan with the land registry – titles office.
After your plan is registered, it can take up to 4 – 6 weeks for the bank to consent to the subdivision, and then it will take up to 6 weeks on average to create and register the titles.
