    Hi all,

    I'm looking at purchasing a property and subdividing and then selling one lot and keeping the other for myself.  I was told that I would need 'Battleaxe access leg construction' at a cost of about $8 – $10k.  I'm not sure what this actually is and the quote came from the land surveyor.  Can anyone help to the description of this and why it costs so much?/
    Thanks

    What you are describing is the 'access handle' ie the driveway & associated drainage required for the rear block. You will need to have this in place before council will consent to any subdivision (it will be part of the requirements for the DA to subdivide the block). You may also be required to contribute towards a services levy or development contribution (S94 in NSW) which goes towards council buying land/building communal facilities eg libraries/parking/senior citz/children health centres etc.
