Subdivision Approvals Management

Expert Navigation from Concept to Compliance

Turning one lot into two—or more—can be an excellent way to unlock value, but managing the approvals process is where many developments stall. At Forge Developments, we make sure yours doesn’t. Our Subdivision Approvals Management service gives you expert guidance through every step, ensuring your application is compliant, coordinated, and progressing.

Subdivision can unlock the full potential of your land, but it requires navigating a maze of regulations, applications, and approvals. Forge Development takes the stress out of the process with end-to-end Subdivision Approvals Management. We liaise with local councils, surveyors, and planning authorities to secure timely approvals and keep your project moving forward.

Our services include:

Coordinating subdivision applications (freehold, survey-strata, strata-titled)
Managing submissions to WAPC and referral agencies
Consulting on zoning, R-Codes, and planning frameworks
Engaging and briefing licensed surveyors
Responding to authority conditions and requests
Overseeing subdivision clearance and title issuance
Advising on subdivision staging, design, and feasibility

FAQs

on Subdivision Approvals Management

Want to avoid hidden surprises?
These FAQs answer common client questions we routinely answer.

What type of subdivision is best for my property?

This depends on zoning, site characteristics, and your development goals. We assess your site and advise on whether a strata, survey-strata, or green title is most appropriate.

How long does the subdivision approval process take?

While timelines vary, WAPC approval generally takes 90 days from application, plus additional time for clearance and title issuance. We help minimise delays by managing all touchpoints proactively.

Do I need to engage a surveyor myself?

No—we coordinate with trusted licensed surveyors and act as your single point of contact. This ensures your application remains accurate and efficient.

Can you manage council conditions or servicing issues?

Yes. We liaise directly with referral agencies (e.g. Water Corp, Western Power) to address conditions and service connections, keeping your project moving.
