Welcome to Birch Land Development Consultants, where we make the complex process of land subdivision simple and transparent. Embarking on a subdivision project opens a world of potential for homeowners, investors, and real estate developers alike. Understanding the intricacies of subdivision costs is crucial to planning your investment efficiently. At Birch, we're committed to providing you with the expert guidance and services needed to bring your vision to life.
Subdivision costs can significantly impact your project's budget. With Birch, gain insight into the critical components affecting these costs so you can prepare budgets:
Council's fees and charges have two main parts. Firstly their fees for receiving and processing applications and processing the necessary certificates and documents once consents have been issued. They do this on a full-cost recovery basis.
And secondly their financial contributions for permitting additional titles to be created. Financial contributions can be charged (under the Resource Management Act) to mitigate any effects of creating the titles, and Development Contributions (under the Local Government Act) to fund the effects of growth in the District. All these fees and charges are generally reviewed and amended on an annual basis.
Development contributions are becoming a significant cost in subdividing land, particularly residential and business land, and are likely to be of the order of 10% of the value of a new section, and can be between 30% and 70% of the total subdivision costs.
The costs of developing sections vary greatly between urban and rural sites, and this is generally a function of the range of services that need to be provided, the costs of providing these services, and the extent of earthworks. On a rural site, the main services to be provided are power and telephone and physical access. On an urban site additional water supply, wastewater, and stormwater services need to be provided. Urban services can be particularly expensive if the Council's infrastructure is old or substandard, or is not available in the immediate vicinity.
Subdivision doesn't have to be intimidating. With Birch Land Development Consultants, your property's potential is just a conversation away. Whether you're subdividing for the first time or looking to expand your investment portfolio, we're here to ensure a smooth, successful process.
