    Does anyone know of any good resources on how to subdivide a property? Steps in the process in order, that kind of thing? At the moment, I gather you need council approval and a survey. Is there anything else to it? Are there guidelines to it, or what?

    Also, what is the likelihood of the council saying no, and what can you do if they do say no?

    Lo they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them.

    Research the town plan of the relevant City Council and check the zoning of the area.

    It maybe an “as of right area” which will help although if you require advertising you always face objections.

    Make your purchase Contract “subject to approval” then at least you always have an out clause.

    A few hours spent studying now will drawn large rewards in the future

    Thank you, Qlds007. So you can apply to subdivide a property during the settlement period then, I take it.

    How long does it take to get approval to subdivide, usually?
