What is a Subdivision Survey?

A subdivision survey divides one parcel of land into two or more separate lots, each with its own Certificate of Title. The survey establishes new boundaries, creates easements where required, and produces the legal documents needed for registration with Landgate.

In Western Australia, all subdivision surveys must comply with Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) requirements.

Perth Subdivision Requirements

Before subdividing in Perth, your property must meet certain criteria:

• Minimum Lot Size: Varies by local council zoning – typically 300-450m² for residential
• Frontage Requirements: Each new lot must have adequate street frontage or access
• WAPC Approval: Subdivision requires approval from the Western Australian Planning Commission
