subject: Town Planning Permits (tpp) & Sell - Medium Profit Town Planning Only [print this page] This type of structure allows the owner to sell off the back part of the block by providing certainty to the purchaser by having obtained a Town Planning Permit. This can be done on a lower budget and be a good way to sell the back yard. The Town Planning Permit will allow the purchaser to start the project immediately after gaining a subdivision approval (SA) without any uncertainties of objections from Council or Locals.
The vendor and purchaser can then enter into a contract of Sale subject to the granting of a Subdivision Permit and Connections. These costs are shared between both parties.
Although this is one way of selling part of your property it is not the most profitable. Before the purchaser can build the new dwelling, they will need to apply for a Subdivision Permit and Connections. Im most case the land is sold under market priceless as the purchase will have to pay for the connections and services.
There is also quite a bit of work needed from a solicitor to prepare the section 172 agreement and a license agreement prior to the Sale. For these reasons most sales are limited and negotiations on the Subdivision costs and allocation become too much for both parties.
