Torrens Title subdivision involves the creation of new allotments from an existing allotment. This may be achieved by:
Strata subdivision gives ownership to individual portions of a larger property and a share of common property such as gardens and driveways. Owners become members of the body corporate and may share responsibility for the whole property. Strata subdivision is most commonly used with dual occupancies, multiple dwelling development, apartment buildings and commercial and industrial buildings.
A subdivision will require either development consent or complying Development approval if it meets the relevant criteria contained in State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Code) 2008 (Codes SEPP). The Codes SEPP allows development completed under the Low-Rise Housing Diversity Code (LRHDC) or strata subdivision be approved as complying development if it meets the relevant standards set out in the Subdivision provisions of the Codes SEPP.

What is a Local Environmental Plan and why it it particularly important to all sites?
An LEP guides planning decisions for local government areas. Local councils do this through zoning and development controls, which provide a framework for the way land can be used. LEPs are the main planning tool to shape the future of communities and ensure local development is done appropriately. The Code has been designed to work with council LEPs. Dual occupancies, manor houses and terraces can only be carried out as complying development or through a DA if it is permitted under the council’s LEP.
