Farm Excise

Farm excise subdivisions are in rural areas where the farm planning looks to remove the house from the farm land as part of the succession planning

These subdivisions involve a review of the planning scheme for your site and a preliminary review of what can be undertaken and we can provide you with a fee proposal for the reports that are normally required to submit the application to council. These subdivisions rely on local policy and often coucnil does not have a clear policy in relation to this type of subdivision- so this involves preliminary discussions with the relevant council.

What makes us different ?:

• We work on the entire project so changes are in house during the report phase dont incur extra costs
• We specilise in all areas so can understand all issues that can apply such as native vegetation offsets or BAL levels
• Over 17 years with nearly 100 permits completed we have had one refused- mind you we were also not given the opportunity to amend this
• We have to date not had to take any applications to VCAT
• We are multi skilled producing not only all of the reports but the drawings electronically on cad

Otherwise with multiple consultants one changes means that it can trigger amendments on other reports which will involve more cost to you! 

Documentation or work required is likely to be:

• Preliminary application with council
• Feature survey 
• Details of surrounding properties including habitual rooms, setbacks and private open space.
• Existing, Proposed and Subdivision Plan
• Planning report to present compliance to the Planning and Environment Act, Local and State Policy.
• Land Capabiltity Assessment for Effluent

We can also go through your permit for a set fee of $195 to guide you on how to complete the permit and arrange a quote for the Title Survey work and conveyancing
