Client in Adelaide Saves 7 Weeks on Land Division

The land division process in South Australia seems to be taking longer and longer. Councils are taking longer and asking more questions and other departments and agencies are also over capacity and delivering underwhelming turnaround times for important parts of the planning land division process. Luckily there is a way to finally win back some time and best of all it will allow you to get ahead on other areas of your land division and development project too. Read on to find out how we were able to supercharge the land division process for our client in Seaton. and how this may help your next project.

Whether your land division is complicated or simple, great planning consultants can assist in identifying ways to speed up your land division and development process. For our client in Seaton we were able to issue a deemed to satisfy planning consent for their land division. This meant that planning consent was granted by us as private planning certifiers rather than Council. The planning consent in this case was able to be issued in just one business day. You just aren’t able to get that level of efficiency when your application is handled by an overcapacity government department.

One of the greatest advantages of a fast tracked planning consent is the ability for you to move into the next stages of your development process earlier. Once you have planning consent you can activate your cadastral survey and work towards demolition of the existing building, bringing you closer to finishing your division and receiving your new land titles. This can save you weeks or even months compared to processing your division through the normal government pathways. This time saving can lead to thousands of dollars in savings on project costs such as interest payments and other time critical functions of the development process.

As this project in Seaton nears completion it is great to sit back and reflect on how we were able to successfully speed up the development for our client. Our private planning certification process was able to achieve planning consent almost immediately, and full development approval for the land division in only 24 business days. Considering Council has a 60 business day assessment timeframe for performance assessed land division, we were able to save our client 36 business days or over 7 weeks! This means the next steps of the building and land division processes were able to start 7 weeks earlier and now we get to see the final stages of the development taking place ready for new occupiers!
