A Subdivision Survey is required when you want to legally split your land into smaller lots, realign boundaries, or consolidate titles. At South East Land Surveyor, we provide clear, accurate, and compliant Plans of Subdivision that are accepted by councils and Land Use Victoria.
Whether you’re a homeowner creating a second lot, or a developer managing a multi-unit project, our team guides you through every step of the subdivision process.
A Subdivision Survey establishes new property boundaries and creates separate land titles. The result is a Plan of Subdivision, certified by a Licensed Land Surveyor, that allows new lots to be sold, developed, or transferred.
Subdivision Surveys are also used for:
moving a boundary line between two properties.
combining multiple titles into one lot.
creating units or apartments with separate titles.
dividing a block for two homes.
creating multiple new lots, sometimes with common property.
resolving disputes or moving title lines.
merging multiple lots into one title.
required for multi-unit developments.
Without a certified subdivision plan, Land Use Victoria cannot register new titles.

“We’re developing two townhouses in Frankston and needed a plan of subdivision and help with the subdivision management process. The guys handled everything professionally and guided us through the process from start to finish with lots of phone calls and explanations as it’s our first time developing.”
“They helped manage our three-lot subdivision in Mornington, and spent the time explaining the process and what was required for the development. Which was very handy.”
“Our architect asked for a feature and level survey, and title re-estab for our renovation in Cheltenham. The team came out to site and were very considerate, and turned it around quickly, and the plans were accepted by council with no issues.”
“We needed a survey for the plans for a new commercial build in Hastings. The guys came out quickly and provided the plans to our design team within a week of the survey, will use them again.”
The cost of a subdivision depends on:
The number of lots created.
Property size and shape.
Council and referral authority requirements.
Complexity of title records and services.
Smaller two-lot subdivisions usually start around $3,000 – $5,000, while larger multi-lot developments require a custom quote. At South East Land Surveyor, we provide fixed written pricing upfront, so you can plan your project with confidence.

A simple two-lot subdivision can be completed in 6–12 months, depending on council approvals and referral authority conditions. Larger projects may take longer.
Yes. In addition to survey plans, we can prepare and organise all required permit documentation, and liaise with your town planner and council.
A Plan of Consolidation merges two or more titles into one lot. This may be required for developments, title clean-ups, or to simplify land ownership.
