Need a hand with your subdivision project to ensure that the newly created lots comply with local regulations and legal requirements? Whether it’s a multi-unit development or subdividing a section from your existing property, our surveyors will conduct a Land Transfer Subdivision Survey to legally subdivide land into fee simple lots.
We research and collect detailed cadastral information and title information from the LINZ database to accurately determine the position and area of the land to be subdivided.
A site visit to the property is required, where we search for existing survey marks to confirm the boundary positions.
Accurate measurements of the boundary are taken using survey equipment to place new boundary pegs or disks for the new boundary positions.
Evidence of existing occupation is recorded, such as posts, fences, or vegetation.
The complex process of calculating boundary parcels and easements to meet LINZ survey standards is then undertaken and the cadastral survey dataset is then prepared and submitted to LINZ for registration and title transfer.
Different zones in the city have specific minimum size criteria for subdivided properties, and compliance with these regulations (outlined in the local Unitary Plan) is essential.
For vacant lot subdivisions – the current minimum site size requirements for various zones are:
However, the original lot size is not the sole determinant; planned dwellings are also subject to site coverage restrictions, and you may be able to subdivide into smaller lots, provided your architect can demonstrate that they can fit dwellings on by adhering to Council’s constraints.
