Hi All,
I'm subdividing my block in 2 lots (planning permit have been fully approved) and I remember someone telling me that what can be very expensive contribution or open space fees that go to Council are not applicable for 2 lot subdivisions but are for 3 or more, is that correct?
Pretty sure the above is correct but would be great if anyone can confirm please. For what it's worth it's with Knox Council in Melbourne but if I'm not mistaken I think this is the same anywhere.
My understanding is my costs related to the above are Land Surveyor Fee, Council App Fee for Subdivision, Utilities Fees (Water/Electricity etc), Titles Office and I think that's it from memory. I was told had I subdivided in to 3 lots of more, Council wanted 8% of the land value as contribution/open space from memory but this was not applicable for 2 lot subdivisions I think?
If anyone can confirm that would be great. TIA
