What is a Subdivision Investigation?
A subdivision investigation is a comprehensive and cost-effective assessment of your property’s potential for subdivision. By uncovering potential challenges and opportunities early, this process ensures you are well-prepared to navigate council requirements, avoid unnecessary delays, and maximise the value of your land.
Key Factors We Evaluate During a Subdivision Investigation
District Plan Zone
The zoning of your property under the local district plan determines what type of subdivision is permissible. We analyse the zoning rules specific to your property to ensure compliance with local regulations.
Allowable Density and Minimum Site Area
The size and shape of your property are critical for subdivision feasibility. We evaluate whether your land meets the minimum site area and density requirements outlined in the district plan.
Access Requirements
Adequate access to each proposed lot is a legal requirement for subdivision approval. We ensure each lot has legally compliant access and suggest practical improvements if necessary.
Availability of Public Drainage
The availability of public drainage and other essential services, such as water and electricity, is key to obtaining subdivision consent. We identify service connections and evaluate infrastructure needs for your project.
Financial Contributions
Subdivision often involves financial contributions to the local council, such as development levies or infrastructure fees. We outline these costs upfront to help you budget effectively and avoid surprises.
