Can I construct the development first and subdivide or unit title the property later?

Yes, you can build first and subdivide later, but it depends on the type of subdivision.

• If you want to create separate unit titles, you usually need to build the homes first and complete the required approvals before the units can be separated and sold.
• If you are doing a block subdivision, you can usually subdivide the land first and build later, as long as each new block can support a suitable dwelling.

The right option depends on whether you want to create separate blocks or separate units within a development.
