Dividing existing parcels or blocks of land into smaller parcels is known as the subdivision of land. When contemplating subdivision, a number of professionals are normally consulted.

A Registered Professional Surveyor should be consulted in the first instance. Only Registered Professional Surveyors are legally empowered to undertake subdivision of land. Other experts that may contribute helpful advice and assistance are:

• your solicitor
• accountant
• architect
• valuer
• real estate agent
• town planner
• civil engineer.

Your Registered Professional Surveyor is well qualified and best placed to manage the entire project and co-ordinate the contribution of other professionals.
