Sub Division Management In Adelaide
All across Australia, we are seeing a huge increase in population. With an increase in immigrants and an increase in growth in general across Australia. Particularly in Adelaide, our population has grown over the last 5 years and is forecast to keep increasing.
In Adelaide, we are seeing many interstate arrivals due to the value-for- money lifestyle still available in Adelaide compared with Sydney and Melbourne. It is for this reason that many councils have relaxed their rules on subdividing parcels of
land.
Councils, such as the city of Burnside, will allow parcels of land around 800 square metres to be split in half, provided the land frontage is at least 18 metres wide in most locations across Burnside, Kensington, Hazelwood Park and Erindale. Other
councils, such as the city of Salisbury, are allowing blocks of land to be subdivided down to 300 square metres per plot of land in locations such as Para Hills, Ingle Farm and Pooraka.
The city of Marion is also allowing smaller parcels of land to be divided in Plympton, Marion and Sturt. Mitcham council area has also seen a significant growth in subdividing due to the larger parcels of land (some in excess of 1000 square metres with wide street frontages) in locations such as Daw Park, Lower Mitcham and Kingswood.
Another area which is also seeing increased development is in Magill, Payneham and Hectorville. These locations are still very
close to public transport and the city, and make great buying even when a plot of land has been subdivided.
But there are some other important contributing factors that will need to be considered during the planning and approval processes of subdividing land in South Australia. In some circumstances, it is a good idea to employ the services of a Town Planner, such as Master Plan in Adelaide, who can help navigate the complexities of some sites and ensure a smooth planning and building approval journey.
