The Subdivision Process

Subdivision involves several steps, each requiring careful attention to detail:

1. Initial Planning – Assess zoning, overlays, and minimum lot size requirements
2. Development Application – Submit plans to Brisbane City Council for approval
3. Surveying & Civil Works – Engage surveyors and complete necessary site works
4. Infrastructure & Services – Ensure water, sewerage, electricity, and stormwater drainage are in place
5. Title Registration – Lodge new land titles with the relevant authorities

What Affects the Cost of Subdividing?

The cost of subdivision depends on several factors, including:

• Size & Number of Lots – More lots mean higher fees for surveying, council approvals, and infrastructure
• Property Location – Zoning rules and development charges vary across Brisbane
• Existing Structures – Removing houses, sheds, or driveways can add to costs
• Infrastructure Requirements – New roads, stormwater systems, and utility connections may be needed
• Services Availability – If the land lacks access to urban utilities, additional work may be required.

We provide accurate cost estimates upfront, helping you plan for expenses and avoid unexpected costs.

Subdivision Rules in Brisbane

Brisbane City Council sets minimum lot sizes based on zoning and land type:

• Standard residential lots: Minimum 450m²
• Small lots: Minimum 300m² (where permitted)
• Rear lots: Additional access requirements apply
• Character & Flood Zones: Special considerations may limit subdivision options.

Additional factors such as street frontage, lot width, and existing easements can also impact subdivision feasibility. Our team ensures your project aligns with council requirements while maximizing the potential of your land.
