    HI all,

    Just wondering what the aproximate cost would be to subdivide a 2000m2 block of land into 2x 1000m2. It has already had the survey done.
    I know there are things to consider such as sewer, water which already run through the back of the property, power, telephone, street curbing etc.
    As far as fees and costs to hook up the services and council fees does anyone have a ballpark figure? or the processes involved?

    thanks for any input

    Hi Yobbo,
    This will depend wher your land is. coucil requirements etc – I suggest asking your local surveyor. In Tassie north west it is about 25k per block if road, water, sewer etc has to be done, In west vic. it is about 50k i have been told.

    Hi Yobbo

    Given that you have already had the survey done I am presuming that you have Council approval for the subdivision, if not, you will have to do so.  As the Council will have to sign the new survey plan before it can be lodged at the Titles office for registration. 

    Your steps in Qld for the subdivsions would have/should have been:

    1.  Application to Council to Reconfigure lot
    2. Council approves/refuses
    3. If approves, gives you a list of conditions that have to be met and costs for headworks etc  ie connecting sewer/water and depending on where property is may insist on power as well.   But from your post I am thinking that you are in a residential area.
    4. Once you have paid all council fees and met conditions you then submit survey plan to them with a statement advising that you have met the conditions.   Council then signs and sends back to the plan to you – you then either take it to your solicitor for registration at Titles office or you can send it in yourself.  Costs to register in Qld is around $130 I think.  Then titles office will issue two new separate titles.

    If may not be as straight forward as what I have said above but if you need any further info pls post and I will answer if I can.  Regards
