Planning a subdivision in Townsville or North Queensland?
Speak with NQ Surveying about compliant subdivision surveys and clear cadastral advice.


We support property owners, developers, and consultants through the subdivision process by delivering accurate, compliant cadastral surveys in accordance with Queensland legislation and surveying standards.

From simple reconfigurations to multi-lot developments, we provide clear advice and reliable survey outcomes at every stage.

What Is a Subdivision Survey?

A subdivision survey (also known as a reconfiguration of a lot) formally creates new legal lots or changes existing property boundaries. Subdivision surveys are a critical component of the development process and must comply with:

  • The Land Title Act 1994 or Land Act 1994

  • Queensland surveying regulations and standards

  • Relevant local authority conditions

Subdivision surveys result in survey plans suitable for registration with the Titles Registry and approval by the relevant authorities.

Types of Subdivisions We Survey

NQ Surveying undertakes subdivision surveys for a range of development types, including:

  • Standard format subdivisions

  • Building format subdivisions

  • Boundary realignments

  • Amalgamations

  • Easements and access arrangements

  • Lease areas (where applicable)

We tailor our surveying services to suit the scale, complexity, and approval pathway of each project.

Supporting the Development Process

Subdivision projects often involve multiple consultants and staged approvals. NQ Surveying works collaboratively to ensure survey outcomes align with:

  • Development approvals and conditions

  • Engineering design requirements

  • Infrastructure and servicing constraints

Early surveying advice can help identify potential issues and reduce delays later in the project.
