Subdivision design application

A subdivision development proposal is generally estate-level works. They include developments that create or consolidate blocks and create or remove roads. They may also involve land use zone changes, the construction of supporting infrastructure and related design or construction requirements.

These do not include proposals just for block subdivisions or consolidations, or developments limited to changing a block boundary or subdividing land under the Unit Titles Act 2001.

While the Authority assess subdivision design applications, City Services are a key referral entity and have an interest in endorsing landscaping, roads, and other proposed infrastructure for new estates and large redevelopment of existing land.

When preparing your subdivision design application, you must ensure your proposal provides the Authority’s minimum documentation. In addition the subdivision design application should also consider, where relevant, the Municipal Infrastructure Standards, the Municipal Infrastructure Technical Specifications and the Municipal Design Standard Drawings.

Applicants may arrange a  pre-DA meeting to ensure that major issues and considerations are identified early.

Fees and charges in relation ns may be viewed on the fees and charges page.

When prepared a Subdivision design applications DAs must be submitted to the Authority. The Authority  will then assess the DA against the relevant provisions of the Territory Plan and consider relevant entity and public comments.

It is recommended that you seek advice from the Authority about all pre-DA lodgement requirements associated with a subdivision design application. For more information, please see General Advisory Note GAN07.
