Subdivision Legal FAQ

Legal fees for a Section 173 agreement depend on the complexity of council conditions and whether negotiation is required. We provide a fixed-fee quote after reviewing your planning permit so there are no surprises. Council's own fees for executing the agreement are separate and vary by municipality.

Once the council issues a Statement of Compliance, registration at Land Use Victoria typically takes 10 to 15 business days. Processing times can fluctuate depending on Land Use Victoria's current workload. We lodge promptly and monitor progress to avoid unnecessary delays.

SPEAR lodgement requires a legal practitioner to certify documents and coordinate mortgagee consents, survey plans, and council requirements into a single application. Errors in lodgement are a common cause of rejection and delay. A lawyer ensures the application is correct before submission, reducing the risk of costly resubmissions.

Yes. We prepare contracts of sale for multi-unit developments that comply with the Sale of Land Act 1962. These include all mandatory vendor disclosures, sunset clauses, and owners corporation details required to sell lots before the plan is registered.

An owners corporation is required when the subdivision includes common property shared between lot owners, such as a driveway, garden area, or building services. We draft owners corporation rules tailored to your development and register them as part of the plan of subdivision.

If the land being subdivided is subject to a mortgage, the lender must consent to the new plan of subdivision before it can be registered. We coordinate directly with your bank or lender to obtain this consent, which can take two to six weeks depending on the institution.
