Expert surveying for smooth, compliant land subdivisions.
MCS Surveyors make the process of subdividing your land straightforward and stress-free. Whether you are creating multiple lots, planning a dual occupancy, or subdividing for development purposes, our team of qualified surveyors provides accurate, legally compliant subdivision plans.
With over 30 years experience in land surveying across Sydney, Wollongong, and greater NSW, we are trusted by homeowners, developers, and builders to deliver precise, efficient subdivision plans that meet council and legal requirements.
A Subdivision Plan is a critical document that legally defines how a parcel of land is divided into two or more lots. Once prepared by a Registered Surveyor, this plan is lodged with NSW Land Registry Services (LRS) to create new land titles for each lot.
Subdivision Plans are required for a range of projects, including:
Without an approved and accurately prepared subdivision plan, you cannot legally separate or sell portions of land. Our experienced team ensures your plan is prepared to the highest standard, so you can progress your project without unnecessary delays or costly errors.
Subdivision projects involve complex requirements, strict regulations, and coordination between councils, certifiers, and LRS. At MCS Surveyors, we manage this process for you, providing:
A building set out survey is essential to the integrity and legality of any construction project. It ensures that construction takes place exactly where it should; avoiding encroachment onto neighbouring properties, non-compliance with development approvals, or costly structural corrections down the line.
Here’s why a professional set out survey is so important:
Before starting, it’s essential to assess whether your land is suitable for subdivision based on zoning, size, and local council regulations. Our team can assist by reviewing site constraints and subdivision potential.
A comprehensive survey of the existing land features, boundaries, structures, and levels is required. This forms the foundation for your subdivision design and council application.
We prepare an initial lot layout plan showing how the land will be divided. This includes lot sizes, boundaries, easements, and access points, ensuring the design complies with council requirements.
Most subdivision projects in NSW require a DA to be lodged with your local council. We assist with the preparation of your application, including required plans and supporting documents.
Once your DA is approved or your subdivision certifier grants consent, the formal Plan of Subdivision can be prepared by our Registered Surveyors.
We prepare your final Deposited Plan, which clearly defines the new lots, boundaries, and any easements or restrictions (set out in 88B documents) required for services or access.
The completed Subdivision Plan is lodged with NSW Land Registry Services. Once registered, new land titles are created for each lot, legally enabling sale, development, or ownership transfer.
Whether it’s a single dwelling or a large commercial development, set out surveys give all parties (including builders, engineers, and certifiers) the confidence to proceed without second-guessing critical measurements.
