Subdividing
If you want to make the most out of your available land, demolishing your existing home may just be the first step. With a large enough plot of land, you may be able to demolish your old home and subdivide the remaining block, creating an opportunity to tap into some added income from your land. Subdividing is when you create two or more blocks from your original single block that you can later sell individually, or use for investment properties.
Subdividing your land is linked directly to residential design codes (R-codes), which dictate how your block can be subdivide, and what you are allowed to build on the new blocks of land. R-codes are put in place throughout Western Australia to regulate the design of residential properties, and are used to assess residential subdivision proposals.
R-codes are very comprehensive, and differ greatly depending on where you block of land is located. The R-codes that apply to your block of land can have an influence on things such as:
• The number of blocks your plot of land can be subdivided into
• The setback requirements of your blocks
• Height allowances of proposed dwellings
• How subdividing affects the streetscape
• Passive solar design,
• And much more
At Content Living, our experienced team of Design Consultants can help you through the subdividing process, working your through the subdividing process, and ensuring that your new dwellings comply with any council regulations, allowing you to make the most use out of your available land.
