Why You Need a Licensed Subdivision Surveyor
Subdividing land offers some exciting benefits and opportunities. Maximise land value, make smarter use of your property, or generate profit by selling off part of your land.
But turning land into legally recognised lots isn’t something you can DIY. Subdivision is a process that requires precision, expertise, and strict compliance. That’s why partnering with a licensed subdivision surveyor isn’t just a smart choice, it’s an essential one.
Ensure Legal Compliance and Accuracy
In Australia, all subdivision surveys must be conducted or supervised by a licenced surveyor.
As trained professionals who understand the legal and technical complexities of land division, we ensure your plans meet all regulatory requirements and are ready for submission to relevant authorities.
Protect Property Rights and Avoid Disputes
Land is one of your most valuable assets. A licensed surveyor helps protect it by accurately defining boundaries, preventing costly disputes, and ensuring every new lot has a clear, legal title. It’s about clarity, certainty, and long-term peace of mind.
Support for Building, Planning & Valuation
Licenced subdivision surveyors play an important role beyond land division too.
Our precise data supports everything from new building projects to infrastructure planning. We also contribute to property valuation, offering insights into land condition, layout, and future potential.
Tailored Subdivision For Every Project - Big or Small.
No two subdivisions are the same, so neither are our solutions. Whether you’re subdividing a vacant block, developing townhouses, or splitting titles within an existing building, we provide expert advice and precision surveying services tailored to your goals.

The Development & Subdivision Process
01. Initial Consultation & Feasibility
The first step is to determine whether your proposed development is likely to gain council support. This involves engaging a town planner to review zoning, overlays, and planning scheme requirements. Initial discussions or pre-lodgement meetings with council may also be necessary to identify potential obstacles before they become bigger problems.
02. Site Survey – Contour & Detail Plan
Our land surveyors assess your site in detail, considering land contours, buildings, vegetation, and utilities. This form the foundation for designing lot layouts and service infrastructure.
03. Development Proposal
Together with you and your town planner, we prepare a Proposal Plan outlining the new lot arrangements. This plan is submitted as part of your Development Application (DA). Sometimes, pre-lodgement meetings help smooth out service or access issues before the official submission.
04. Development Approval
Once your DA is approved, council will issue conditions you’ll need to meet. This might include development fees or infrastructure charges. If there are any sticking points, we help negotiate to find solutions that work for everyone.
05. Operational Works & Surveying
With approval in hand, construction work can begin—earthworks, drainage, and installing services. During this phase, we peg the new lot boundaries and prepare the formal Survey Plan to submit to the Department of Resources for review.
06. Plan Sealing by Council
After construction and once all approval conditions are met, you apply to council to seal the plan. This confirms your development complies fully with all requirements.
07. Council Signs Survey Plan
Council endorses the Survey Plan by signing it – an essential step before new titles can be created.
08. Lodgement with Titles Office
The final step is lodging the signed Survey Plan and legal documents with the Titles Office within six months of sealing. Once registered, your new lots officially exist and are ready for sale or settlement.
Frequently asked questions
Find answers fast. Browse our most common subdivision questions below.
What exactly is a subdivision survey?
A subdivision survey is the process of dividing a parcel of land or building into two or more lots, each with its own legal title. It involves mapping out new boundaries, ensuring compliance with local planning regulations, and preparing the documentation required for registration with Titles Queensland.
How long does the subdivision process take?
The timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of the project, but most subdivisions take between 6–12 months. Factors like council approval times, service connections, and site constraints can impact the schedule. Thanks to our local knowledge and efficient processes, we help minimise delays and keep your project moving.
What costs are involved in subdivision?
Subdivision costs typically include surveying and consultancy fees, council application fees, service connection charges, and possible infrastructure contributions. The total will depend on your site conditions, location, and the number of lots. We provide clear, upfront estimates during your initial consultation so you can plan with confidence.
Do I need a subdivision feasibility study before proceeding?
Yes, a feasibility study is a crucial first step. It helps determine if your property can be subdivided under current regulations, flags any challenges, outlines likely costs, and assesses whether the project makes financial sense for your situation.
What are the minimum lot sizes for subdivision on the Sunshine Coast?
Minimum lot sizes are set by zoning and local council guidelines. In standard residential zones on the Sunshine Coast, minimum lot sizes usually range from 400–600m². Our team can provide accurate advice based on your property’s zoning and location.
