Understanding consolidation plan
A consolidation plan concerns combining existing land parcels. It can be relevant where a development spans more than one lot or your project team has requested a consolidated plan. The survey and documentation needed depend on the affected titles and the intended project.
Share the existing lot and plan information and explain what the consolidation is meant to support. SurveyWorx can discuss survey and plan preparation, including information needed from your other advisers. Consolidation should not be presented as a guaranteed increase in property value or a shortcut around development requirements.
Prepare your consolidation plan enquiry
To scope your consolidation plan enquiry, provide:
- The titles and deposited plans for all lots being considered
- The development proposal or written reason consolidation has been requested
- Relevant consent conditions and advice from your project team
- Known easements, access arrangements and existing survey information
Combining lots is a different objective from creating additional lots. For a proposed division, see subdivision plans. Agree separately who will coordinate title advice, certification and lodgement.
FAQs
Our answers to your questions.
When should I discuss a consolidation plan?
Contact SurveyWorx when your project team has identified a need to combine existing parcels, or when you want to understand the surveying work involved. Provide the titles, plans and relevant development requirements so the proposed scope can be discussed.
Does preparing the plan mean the titles have been combined?
No. Survey and plan preparation are distinct from the later title and registration steps. Confirm responsibilities with the professionals managing the project and ask them to verify the actual registration status before relying on a consolidated title.
What affects the scope of consolidation work?
The affected lots, available survey and title records, site access and project requirements all matter. Share these at the quote stage, including any known easements or conditions. Avoid assuming that two neighbouring lots can be combined without further investigation.
