AI summary
Thinking of subdividing? Expect costs between $80,000 and $120,000 in New Zealand. This covers surveying, council fees, and installing services like power and water.
Whether you can subdivide depends on your local council's zoning rules, which set minimum section sizes. You must also ensure the land is suitable and has vehicle access. The entire process can take from 6 months to 2 years, so it's wise to consult a surveyor early to confirm feasibility.
