Hi Akhi,

If you like feel free to send me an email and I can send you some information on the subdivision process, along with recommending town planners etc. I’m also happy to give you advice on the surveying side of things.

Kindest Regards,
Ashley Stacey

No worries, look forward to hearing from you both.
