Property Surveyors

Mepstead & Associates are expert land development consultants who can provide you with sound advice for subdividing land and property whether the project is large or small. We provide comprehensive services in the preparation of strata plans for strata title subdivisions as well as plans for community title subdivisions of properties across New South Wales.

A strata title refers to the ownership of a defined unit (home, town house, commercial shop or warehouse) within a strata plan. The strata plan is the subdivision of the building and the surrounding property into private units and common property, including stairwells, driveways, gardens and paths. Each of these units has a title that is defined in the strata plan.

• Preparation of draft strata plans from architectural plans suitable for seeking subdivision approval from the council
• Preparation of final strata plan for subdividing land following completion of construction
• Strata plans for amendments or additions to buildings within a strata scheme
• Staged strata plans for large scale developments
• Preparation of plans to accompany exclusive bylaws

A community title refers to the ownership of a defined lot within a community plan. The subdivision can fall under a Community Scheme or a Neighbourhood Scheme.

A Community Title subdivision is ideal where there are distinct shared areas such as tennis courts and swimming pools or other areas of biodiversity that need conserving. It can also be used where the constraints of a traditional subdivision are too limiting to get the best use of the subject property. Community Title Schemes are also known as Cluster Housing Schemes. Mepstead & Associates have been involved with Community Title Subdivision since they first came into legislation in 1989.
