Hi all,
Hope someone can answer this.
Our home is sitting on a 1012 m2 block and are thinking about sub-dividing it. It’s a long block with a street access on both ends.
Does anyone know the costs involved in sub-dividing? We are in QLD.
Cheers,
Karl

Hi Karl and Rita,
Subdivision can be easy and it can be difficult. First you need to go to your council, find out if you meet their requirements, ie minimum size of blocks, road frontage widths and application fee, plus any other requirements eg Parks Fee (for us 10 percent of undeveloped land value). Speak to your town planner. It’s no good paying the application fees if you’ve got a snowflakes chance of doing it. Doing your homework first can save a headache. If the TP verbally gives you the go ahead, then ask for a name of their preferred surveyor (and yes, they do have favourites!!) and get a preliminary plan drawn up. I guess everyone’s scale of fees are different but we have just had a plan done that cost us $250.
Submit to the council with their application fee,
pray for approval, and when received, go back to surveyor and they’ll come out, put the pegs in and do the proper plan (costing us about $2000 but it varies dramatically) which then gets sent off to the titles office, new titles drawn up, and then stamped by council.Go for it.

We have subdivided in Vic for approx $5k plus original survey costs (maybe $1000). Ring a surveyor for a quote which should be reasonably accurate. A lot depends on the services ( gas, water, electricity ) and the respective charges of the supplying companies.
