Subdivision Costs in WA

In WA, the cost of subdivision projects vary based largely on the type of subdivision and the size of the project. No matter the type or size, they will have several set and variable costs, including:

Survey, planning and project management fees
WAPC and Landgate fees
Council application & contributions
Compliance works on the demolition or on retained dwellings
Utilities (electricity, water etc)
Demolition costs (if any)
General site works (earth works, retaining walls, drainage, fencing, and access)

There is a significant scope for an inexperienced developer to underestimate the contributions, fees, and payments necessary to complete a particular project. What applies for one property is rarely an accurate reflection of the cost structure applicable to another. In this light, an engagement with a professional is advised.

Most Common Subdivisions in WA & Their Cost

The following are the most common subdivision types in Perth and will provide with a starting point for considering each and their relevant cost of subdivision. They exclude the initial outlay for the property, and other costs associated with the purchase.

Keeping the Existing Dwelling - Battle Axe Block

With this subdivision type, the position of the existing house allows the most straightforward form of subdivision to be carried out. It would involve minimum site works to prepare the land, a basic site clean, constructing a new driveway and the addition of any retaining walls or fencing. Costs could total approx. $55,000 and should cover all aspects including government and surveying fees, plumbing, electrical, settlement and fees on services.

Remove the Existing Dwelling - Battle Axe Block

This subdivision type would also include the costs and process previously mentioned in keeping the existing dwelling, but extends to include the cost of demolition. With this, anticipate a total subdivision cost of around $55,000. Often the cost that varies considerably is the demolition cost, so its important to acquire quotations from multiple demolition companies.

Remove the Existing Dwelling - Green Title (Cnr)

This subdivision type is again an extension of the costs incurred in the aforementioned types. Subdividing the land for multiple dwellings is not any more expensive in this instance, unless the existing sewer line needs to be modified to be able to service the new requirements. There may also be some costs related to other utilities and street facing access ways. Indicative costs can be between $55,000 and up to $70,000.

Potential Subdivision Cost Risks

Understanding the cost of subdivision will provide an indication of potential, but there are a number of risks presented if a proper feasibility assessment is not carried out prior to commencement. It is said that failing to plan is planning to fail, and some common subdivisions mistakes or risks to be aware of include:

If you subdivide into two smaller blocks, the increase in value of the two new blocks needs to be more than it cost you to subdivide the land in the first place.
Smaller blocks of land may be less attractive to potential buyers, meaning you may find it difficult to find a buyer if your end goal is selling the new blocks.
Subdivision can be a lengthy process, which can be further set back by potential delays in the approval process, objections from neighbours, unexpected costs.

Subdivisions are a significant undertaking so before you use a subdivision cost calculator, understand what options there are for your land. Utilise our experienced Perth subdivision team and ensure your development goals line up with market demand.
