We are considering subdividing an IP in City of Canning in WA.
It is a corner block and we can retain the existing residence and can get a green title (the sewers are all running in the right place) or a strata survey block with own street frontage.
We then want to build a townhouse on the block to retain and rent out.
This will be our first time to undertake a small scale development.
I was just wondering what the current timeframes are in WA for this kind of undertaking. Also is this relatively starightforward or are we in for months or even years of delay and frustration?
1. How long between our initial application and official approval to subdivide? (apparantly once approval is given we have 3 years to complete the subdivision)
2. Once approval is through what would be the average time to connect services etc and to get the new title through?
3. And finally how long would it take from building concept to the building being ready to rent out?
Are there any recommendations for services we can use in WA?
Should we use a surveyor to assist us with the subdivision before approaching builders? Or is it better to use a townplanner? Should we go to an architect or drafting company for concepts suitable for our site? Or should we go directly to a builder to prepare a plan and then do all the work including the subdivision?
Thanks in advance for any feedback to my queries.
