    In most cases you wont get separate Title on the properties until after the construction is complete so assuming the block is appropriately zoned and the DA is a formality then ring the Local Council or talk to a private Town Planner to get an indication of the time frame.

    Then from this add your BA and construction timings and probably another 6-8 weeks after formal completion and that will give you a good estimate of time.

    Basically what Richard is saying is that subdivision isn’t quick. It can take 6-12 months to subdivide a block. So don’t buy it thinking you are going to subdivide in a couple of weeks. It takes a while, but there is a lot of money to be made if you can do it properly.

    As a new member of this forum, I have had a good read of many posts – and this is another post that makes my 'blood run cold' – so to speak.
    You need to know the answer to all these BASIC questions way before ' you put a contract on a block' – and if you are still asking them, you are not ready to buy – educate yourself first; it is a lot cheaper than buying the wrong property!!!
