Understanding stratum subdivision
Stratum subdivision concerns parcels defined in three dimensions, with limits in height and depth. It may be relevant to a mixed-use project where different parts of a development need to be considered separately. The required arrangement should be discussed with the surveying, design and legal team.
Provide the proposed building sections and plans, intended ownership arrangement and any development requirements. SurveyWorx can discuss the survey and stratum plan preparation scope. Do not assume that the common property or management arrangements of a strata scheme apply to a stratum proposal.
Prepare your stratum subdivision enquiry
To scope your stratum subdivision enquiry, provide:
- Site and building plans, including relevant sections and levels
- The proposed division and intended use of each part of the development
- Available title information and relevant consent conditions
- Instructions from the design, planning and legal team
Strata plans concern a different titling arrangement. Share the project objective before selecting either service; similar names should not be treated as interchangeable. Confirm responsibilities for supporting documents, certification and registration.
FAQs
Our answers to your questions.
Are stratum subdivision and strata plans the same?
No. They are different arrangements and require project-specific advice. Explain how the development is intended to be divided and managed, and provide plans and sections. SurveyWorx can discuss the surveying scope with your project team without assuming that strata common-property rules apply.
Why are sections and levels useful for a stratum enquiry?
The proposed parcels have a three-dimensional extent, so plans alone may not communicate the intended arrangement. Share relevant sections, levels and design revisions, together with instructions from your advisers, so the required survey and plan information can be discussed.
Can a mixed-use project be assessed from a brief description alone?
A description is a useful starting point, but the actual layout, titles and project requirements need review. Send the available drawings and intended division. Agree the investigation and advice required before assuming a particular subdivision structure is suitable.
