Need professional land subdivision? CBEM Constructions is here to help, we have experts in different areas to help you with every details of your project.
Land subdivision is the process of dividing a single block of land into smaller blocks of lands and each of them has a separate title. It allows the landowner or developer to create multiple properties to develop. There are local council regulations and laws to follow, including access, utilities and other environmental considerations that CBEM Constructions will take care of.
It can be difficult to navigate the land subdivision process in New South Wales, but Cbem Constructions offers professional advice at every stage. We ensure a smooth process from feasibility studies to surveying, council approvals, and civil work, producing subdivision results that are both profitable and compliant.
Detailed information of the five stepes can be view via the blog link provided at the following part of the website, including factors that you will need to care about while doing land subdivision.

The process of land splitting in NSW is a chain of must-do steps to match local rules. Here’s a short look at the steps needed to get the green light for splitting land:
The first move is to send a Development Application (DA) to the local council. This form has plans for how the land will be used, zones, and what will be built there. The council checks the form to see if it follows area plans and earth rules before saying yes. Learn more about the DA process here.
When DA is okayed, you need a Subdivision Work Certificate (SWC). This cert says that things like roads and water paths are up to safe building standards. It makes sure the split plans are good and follow the rules. Check the Subdivision Work Certificate requirements here.
With the SWC ready, building starts. This part includes making roads, water, and other main bits. Checks are done often to see if the work sticks to the agreed-upon plans and rules. Construction standards and guidelines can be found here.
After building, a Subdivision Certificate (SC) is given out. This shows that the split jobs are done and hit the needed marks. You must have this cert to move to the next main step. Learn about the Subdivision Certificate process here.
The last step is to put the split land into the Land Registration System (LRS). This makes new titles for the split parts. It makes the land split official and lets the new parts be sold or built on. Visit the Land Registration System here.
By following these five steps—DA, SWC, construction, SC, and LRS—those who split land make sure their projects are on the right side of the laws and can be legally owned.
Hidden challenges include zoning restrictions, unexpected council fees, and delays from utility providers. Potential bushfire or flood risks may require extra reports, and legal access or easement issues can complicate plans. Even after DA approval, further steps are needed before titles can be registered.
In NSW, land subdivision typically takes 6 to 12 months, depending on the site complexity and council processing times. Delays can occur due to planning approvals, service connections, or required reports.
NSW allows several types of land subdivision, including Torrens Title, Strata Title, and Community Title. Torrens is the most common for creating separate lots, while Strata is used for multi-unit developments. Community Title combines shared and private spaces under a management scheme. Achievement of different types depends on your land, zoning, and development goals.
