Subdivision Isn’t Just Plans and a DA – It’s a Whole Different Ball Game
So, you’ve found a cracker of a site, crunched your numbers, and got that shiny DA approval in hand. You’re thinking it’s smooth sailing from here, right?
Wrong.
This is the point where most new developers get blindsided because the DA is just the beginning. Now comes the real work. And if you're not prepared, this is where timelines blow out, budgets get smashed, and stress levels skyrocket.
Larger land subdivisions bring a whole new set of challenges: Council requirements that shift mid-game. Secondary approvals you didn’t even know existed. Unexpected infrastructure costs and delays that can eat months and tens of thousands of dollars off your bottom line
Each Council has its own quirks, every project has its curveballs, and unless you’ve done this before, you won’t know what’s coming until it hits you square between the eyes.
That’s why this month’s Industry Expert session is a must-attend. Dean Dehghan-Khalaji is from Subdivision Certifiers Pty Ltd and he's been deep in the trenches of large land subdivision which means he knows exactly how the game is played. Dean will break down what really happens once the DA is in, what can catch you out, and how to keep your project on track.
You’ll walk away knowing:
• What to check before you even buy the site
• Which DA conditions can quietly kill your profit
• Who to bring onto your team and when
• How to avoid the rookie mistakes that lead to cost and time blowouts
If you're serious about doing larger subdivisions the right way and not getting buried in red tape or caught short by hidden costs, then come learn how the pros plan, dodge the potholes, and keep the money moving.
This isn’t theory. This is boots-on-the-ground advice from someone who’s done it all before.
