You might be sitting on an opportunity — here’s how to find out.
If you own land in Southland, Otago or Central Otago, and you’ve been wondering whether your section might be large enough to subdivide, you’re not alone.
Zoning, infrastructure, and council plans all influence whether subdivision is possible. And it’s not always about size — sometimes a smaller section may qualify under certain rules, or a larger one might be restricted due to access or servicing limitations.
Common subdivision triggers include:
- Rural lifestyle blocks over 2 hectares
- Urban sections with dual road frontages
- Properties near new infrastructure or rezoned areas
We can help assess your land against local district plan rules and highlight what’s possible — and what to watch out for.
