So you want to subdivide rural land. How do you go about it? You’re in the right place. My name is Colin Fragar from Council Approval Group.

We’ve done a lot of these projects for clients and it’s really important that we get this right because rural property, by definition really shouldn’t be subdivided. It’s been designed for primary production, however, it does get to the point. And planning legislation often allows it because, really, we’ve got to start to release land, to the average mom and dad for their houses.

How to Subdivide Rural Land

Subdividing rural land, falls into a number of different categories. And what I recommend is that you do book in for consultation, if you do have a property, to speak to one of our consultants so that we can work out what you’re trying to achieve.

Recently, we received approval for, I think, a 20 lot subdivision of rural land that had been in the family for quite a while. And it was a really positive outcome for the family. It was just very nice for me, as a family based business, to see the value that we add to a family with the subdivision of rural land.
