Direct answer

Subdivision consent may need planning information, a scheme plan, survey input, engineering or servicing information, stormwater details, traffic and access assessment, vehicle crossing information and construction-stage compliance planning. The exact reports depend on the site, proposal, council rules and assessment matters.

Core subdivision information

A scheme plan, site details, ownership information, planning assessment and servicing context are common starting points. Depending on the site, council may also need stormwater, wastewater, water supply, easement or engineering information.

Traffic and access information

Council may need information about access, parking, vehicle crossings, road safety and how future lots will function. Early access review can reduce the risk of drawings changing late in the process.

Construction-stage requirements

CAR, TMP, temporary traffic management, frontage works and site access may become important before works begin. These are often separate from the consent decision but still affect programme and site readiness.

Key takeaways

  • Core subdivision information
  • Traffic and access information
  • Construction-stage requirements
