How to subdivide land into two lots in a rural zone

To do your own planning application for a subdivision of land to realign a common boundary as a VicSmart application, the first step is to check if your application is eligible for the VicSmart process. This will ensure that your application meets the following criteria:

1. Each new lot is at least the area specified for the land in the zone or in a schedule to the zone
2. The land is in one of the following zones:
   • Rural Living Zone
   • Green Wedge Zone
   • Green Wedge A Zone
   • Rural Conservation Zone
   • Farming Zone
   • Rural Activity Zone
3. Does not trigger a permit under another part of the planning scheme

It’s likely that you will also need a licensed surveyor and in most instances a lawyer or licensed conveyancer.
