Subdivide Without Moving – Transferable Development Right – Waipa District Only

-- Why This Works These EBL/TDRs were created by permanently protecting native bush on another site — allowing development in less sensitive areas like yours. It’s a smart, sustainable way to:

Build a second home for family, retirement, or rental

Subdivide and sell a portion of your land without relocating

Simplify land management and unlock equity

Benefit from conservation while gaining development rights

Transferable Development Right (TDR) subdivision is a method of subdivision where you transfer an entitlement from one property to another.

The entitlements can be transferred to less sensitive areas, and often to properties where subdivision would not otherwise be possible. You can only create one additional TDR lot per title providing you meet the relevant District Plan provisions.

Creating a New Title: Using the TDR, a new title (a new piece of land) can be created on the receiver site, even if the receiver site is not typically permitted to subdivide.

Council Consent: The transfer of rights and the subsequent subdivision require the approval of the relevant local council, such as the Waipa District Council, as it's a specific type of subdivision process.

Market-Based Mechanism: TDRs are a market-based tool that creates financial incentives for landowners to protect sensitive areas by allowing them to sell the development rights to other landowners who want to subdivide in more suitable locations.
