Subdividing land can be a lengthy process. As a guide allow 12 to 24 months
Whether your land is residential or rural, we'll chat with you about your plans and help you identify any issues early on (such as planning permit requirements, access issues and engaging a surveyor). Often clients want to subdivide land so that they can sell off some or all of the land once the subdivision has taken place, so we can discuss what your needs are. Perhaps you want to make sure you've got a purchaser signed on the dotted line if you've already negotiated a sale; after all, you don't want to go to all this effort and find out the purchaser has changed their mind.
We'll work with you, your surveyor and the requirements of the council to make sure your project is heading in the right direction. Sometimes the council can require you enter into an agreement with them to do certain work on the land, or to agree that the land won't be subdivided again in the future. We can help get those documents sorted out.
We'll also get the application for the subdivision ready and tick off the required steps like verifying your identity and ensuring that you (and the purchaser, if applicable) are given details of any variations to the plan that the authorities require before they approve it.
Once the documents are in order and the council has issued the Statement of Compliance, we will lodge the application for registration and coordinate this with your bank (if you have a mortgage). Sometimes there will be further amendments required in which case we will work with you and your surveyor to check off the final requirements. Once registered, we will notify you of the new title details and we can proceed to settlement for any associated contracts of sale of land.
Our Meags grew up on a dairy farm near Cobden and has a genuine knack for people. It’s no wonder that she’s a wonderful host and embraces every moment she can, feeding food (and wine) to her friends and family at home. We all wish we could score an invite to her place at Christmas. Just maybe not when the Magpies are playing on TV. Yep, another Collingwood nutter!
Shaun cherishes the sense of community living in Camperdown, having moved from Geelong seven years ago. It’s no wonder he enjoys playing team sports, such as cricket, tennis and soccer. He and his lovely wife also have a young son and two dogs to run around after.
You don’t have to drive too far to see Bec slaying her guitar with her pub rock cover band. The volume is quite a contrast to her upbringing on a peaceful farm! Bec comes from three generations of dairy farmers in Camperdown. That’s a lot of legacy, life experience and appreciation for practicality – all of which she naturally applies in her advice. And her clients love her for it.
Grace loves the convenience of how close everything is in the country. From work, family, the supermarket and of course, her home. She grew up in Colac and learnt a lot of life experience from her parents who run a business in the ag industry. If you haven’t been lucky enough to meet her in the office just yet, find her watching the local Colac Tigers come the weekend.
Ash's upbringing revolved around shearing sheds, saleyards and running amok in the NSW bush. She's now enjoying bringing up her young son on the Bellarine and enjoying all that this area has to offer. If you ask Ash about football, she’ll tell you the Bombers are due for some strong finals action. We think she'll be waiting some time yet!
Our Saint ’Nick’ is not just a St Kilda supporter. He’s an avid video game player and enjoys listening to music to accompany the relaxing atmosphere of country life. We’re not sure if it’s his choice in football teams that makes him ultra-resilient or his two younger brothers. Maybe ask him when you chat to him next.
Peta was born and raised in Camperdown. She’s now in the life chapter of growing her own family with her hubby, one beautiful girl and two big fur babies. When they find a quiet weekend - by day, they’ll be in the garden or renovating their home. By night, cooking tea and snuggling up with a glass of wine and a good movie.
As a Colac local for over 40 years, chances are you’ve met Dave. He loves socialising with his mates, enjoying a weekend walk or getting his hands dirty in the garden. When it comes to footy, he’s been one of those lucky ones to taste regular glory. Yep, if we let him, you’d hear ‘We are Geelong, the greatest team of all…’ on repeat.
Kevin’s kids are so fortunate to have a dad who loves getting involved with whatever activities they’re into. Whether it be cricket, footy, bike-riding - he and his family love getting out and about. If you haven’t been lucky enough to meet Kevin just yet, there’s a good chance you’ll bump into him at the local footy and cricket clubs.
Have you had the pleasure of meeting Trac? A self-dubbed ‘Colacian’ for her entire life, Trac has 3 kids, 5 grandkids and one very spoilt dog named ‘Jax.’ She loves spending time with her family. She also enjoys spending time outdoors and soaking in fresh air; in the garden, out walking or riding her bike.
If you’re one of those patient Essendon supporters waiting to ‘see the Bombers fly up', you’ll gravitate to Kelly who’s loyal through and through. A member of our conveyancing team since 2017, Kelly gains a lot of satisfaction from helping our clients smoothly reach settlement day. Outside of work you can find her pounding the pavements of Cobden with her best fur-friend, Remi the Labrador.
