LRS Plan Registration
We perform initial boundary and topographic surveys to assess the land's geometric potential for legal subdivision in line with council zoning.
Once approved, we physically mark new boundaries, easements, and infrastructure on-site to ensure civil works match the engineered designs exactly.
The final Plan of Subdivision is drafted and registered with Land Registry Services (LRS) to create new property titles and finalize the project.

Subdivision FAQs
What is the first step in the subdivision process?
The process typically begins with a Detail and Level Survey and a feasibility assessment. This determines if your property meets council minimum lot size requirements and identifies potential infrastructure constraints.
How long does a subdivision take in Sydney?
Most residential subdivisions take between 6 to 12 months. This includes the DA/CDC approval phase, civil works if required, and the final lodgement of plans with NSW Land Registry Services.
Do I need a Registered Surveyor for subdivision?
Yes. Under NSW law, only a Registered Land Surveyor can define property boundaries and certify the Plan of Subdivision required to create new land titles.
What is the difference between Torrens and Strata title?
Torrens primary involves dividing land into separate independent lots. Strata title usually applies to developments where owners share common property, such as dual occupancies or apartment buildings.
