Subdivision Certificates

A Subdivision Certificate certifies that the plan of subdivision has been completed in accordance with relevant development consent conditions or Complying Development Certificate.


A plan of subdivision divides a parcel of land into parts for separate use. It can only be prepared by a Registered Surveyor. The land to which the plan refers assumes the lot and plan number as its new title.

NSW Land Registry Services (LRS) is the key provider of land information services in New South Wales.

A plan of subdivision generally cannot be registered by LRS unless it has a subdivision certificate

Use the NSW Planning Portal to apply for a Subdivision Certificate. 

A Subdivision Certificate certifies that a plan of subdivision has been completed in accordance with the relevant development consent conditions or complying development certificate in the case of complying development. It also authorises the registration of the plan of subdivision with NSW Land Registry Services.
