Pre-Lodgement Support for Subdivisions and Development Applications
Before investing heavily in building design, engineering, or lodgement costs, it’s essential to understand how your local council may view your proposal.
That’s where we come in—with a tailored pre-lodgement package that includes expert guidance, a council meeting, and a custom site plan to help you take the right next steps.
Our Pre-Lodgement Support Package is built for homeowners, developers, and investors who want early clarity—before committing serious time or money to a development that could hit costly roadblocks or delays.
Why Early Advice Matters
If you’re planning:
- Multi-dwelling developments
- Dual occupancy projects
- Lot subdivisions or boundary reconfigurations
- Impact-assessable applications
…then you’re likely to face potential council scrutiny.
South East Queensland councils expect well-considered applications and will often resist proposals that clash with zoning rules, overlays, or planning frameworks.
Holding a pre-lodgement meeting gives you:
- Direct feedback from council before formal submission
- A preview of potential issues or requests
- Clarity on likely approval pathways and costs
- A chance to revise your plans early—saving you time and stress.
Pre-Lodgement + Site Plan = Smarter Planning
At Survey My Block we manage the process from end to end. What makes our service stand out is that we don’t just organise the meeting—we provide the groundwork to make it worthwhile.
- A concept site plan prepared by a qualified building designer
(including footprint, layout, setbacks, dimensions, and any critical elements) - Meeting coordination and attendance by a skilled town planner and surveyor
- Advice on risks, timeframes, and how best to approach the council
- A breakdown of potential council lodgement fees.
The Outcome?
You’ll leave the meeting with:
- Clear direction on whether to move forward
- Constructive feedback from council representatives
- A next-step plan that helps you decide whether to proceed, pivot, or pause.
