Subdividing land in New Zealand
Many New Zealanders dream of subdividing their property for capital gain: and this is a realistic concept. There are considerations that must be taken into account before your proposal is taken to council however, and this is where our services come into play. We offer a Residential Level Report for the subdivision and potential development of your land, focusing on aspects such as who will be affected by the subdivision, at what level, and whether the council should support your request. We often with meet with our clients and their neighbours to discuss potential concerns around landscape developments, clearing the path for council approval. We investigate any other public stakeholders, and look carefully at any impacts your development could have on the natural environment. We’re also able to advise on the zoning and natural character of your land, pre-empting any further cost with your local governing body.
