Consolidating property

Dear farm expert

I would like to know what the proses and the costs are to consolidate two small neighboring properties in NSW. As I understand a property must be min 40ha in size to be able to get a building entitlement. The two properties are just over 70ha combined. Will it be worth buying with the intent to consolidate? 

Thanking you

Ivan

Never thought about this but as we are looking at buying a small place the answer will be interesting.

 

Cheers

Rob.

Hi Ivan,

my first stop would be the local council who will be able to tell you what the rules and regulations are regarding amalgamation. They would also probably be able o tell you how much it would cost to have the blocks ammalgamated. I guess it would depend on what the zoning is- whether rural residential or rulal. In Queensland where  I am based, blocks of this size would usually be zoned rural residential.

regards,

Barb

Hi Ivan,

Rather than trying to amalgate the two properties which I presume are on separate titles, you may have a better chance convincing the local council to relax the building regulations and allowing you to build on one of the farms. If you present them with a good reason as to why you want to build they may at least consider it.

If you purchase a section 149 planning certificate it will stipulate the planning conditions and constraints affecting your lot.

Further information can be located at a NSW Guide to Complying Development under the Rural Housing Code.

Regards,

Charlie
