The following information must be submitted with an application for land division:
• A completed Development Application Form
• Relevant Fees
• Nine copies of the proposed land division plan drafted in accordance with requirements outlined in the Development Regulations
• Two current copies of the Certificate of Title
As the requirements for land division plans are very specific most applications for land divisions are prepared and submitted by a licensed surveyor on your behalf.
If the land division relates to houses that you intend to build on the land it is recommended that you lodge a Development Application for the proposed development with the Council prior to lodging an application for land division with DAC. This will demonstrate that the newly subdivided blocks are of the appropriate size, shape and orientation to cater for your intended purpose.
