Hi all,
I am looking to split a title for a property I own that has a house on 600sqm and a vacant area of around 1800sqm.
Does anyone have any experience in this area, particularly:
> Is it via local council
> Approximate costs involved
> Time involved to issue the new titlesAny thoughts greatly appreciated.

You will have to submit a Development Application (DA) to council. Give them a call and ask for the planner. He should be able to tell you what you need. Alternatively if you go in they should be able to give you information.
Every council is different – some are very helpful others have terrible reputations.
In my area it is only a few hundred for the DA but you will need to engage a surveyor to draw up the exact plans of the property.
It depends on the Local Environmental Plan (LEP) as to whether it falls in or out of their guidelines for approval. The planner will help you here too. Basically you will know if it is possible before you need to spend any money.
Timeframes vary widely between councils too.
All the best,
