I have approved plans for 2 units on a block in Melbourne. Currently there is an old house which will be demolished. Currently in process of selecting builders.
I need to know when to start the sub-division process, now or after signing with a builder. Does the existing house need to be demolished for subdivision process.
Any idea of how long the sub-division process takes.
Thanks
Depends on if you have the money now..
Because you already have approved plans for 2 units/ this means you have submitted those plans to council.
Now all you need to do is get a surveyor to put in their surveying plan.
But they usually wont submit their final plan until the house is demolished and they have a clear site. ( but can have it all drawn up, the intial 1st plan)
You also need to get services hooked up to the new block If torrens titled. This can be arranged by the surveyor.
Then once that plan goes in they allow at least 2-3 months.
Then it will take another 1-2 months for the services and finally at least a 1 month at the LTO before you are issued to New titles.
This can be done at the same time as you are building.
ie you can demolish that house have the builder start building the 2 units and have the subdivision running concurrently.
Make sure you confirm with the builder that they will allow this as some bigger companies only want you to subdivide and have a clear title first before commencing.
