Strata Plan Sydney
Building multiple dwellings on one lot in Sydney? You can't sell them individually until each has its own strata title. A strata plan creates separate ownership for each dwelling while defining the common property everyone shares - driveways, gardens, and structural elements. It's governed by the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015 and requires professional surveying and NSW Land Registry Services lodgement.

Create Individual Titles from One Lot
Strata subdivision is how townhouses, apartments, and dual occupancies in Sydney get sold separately. Unlike Torrens title subdivision which divides land horizontally, strata division works in three dimensions - your lot might be a cube of airspace bounded by walls, floors, and ceilings. Common property includes everything not within a lot: external walls (usually), driveways, landscaping, and building structure. Under the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015, every strata plan must define lot boundaries, calculate unit entitlements, and identify common property. Unit entitlements determine each owner's share of levies and voting rights - typically based on relative value or floor area. The plan must show compliance with building setbacks under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and local planning instruments. We prepare plans for dual occupancies, townhouse developments, residential flat buildings, and mixed-use commercial/residential projects. Our surveyors coordinate with your architect and certifier to ensure the strata arrangement matches approved plans. Once lodged with NSW Land Registry Services, the plan creates new certificates of title - each lot becomes separately saleable, mortgageable, and transferable. This unlocks the value in your development, allowing individual sales rather than bulk disposal. Sydney's strata laws also require a management statement if your scheme includes services or facilities shared with adjoining schemes. We handle the technical surveying and lodgement process, working with your solicitor to register the scheme and issue titles.
