Wondering if you can subdivide your land?
We often hear questions like can I subdivide my land? or can I subdivide my rural property? The answer depends on your zoning, access, and council rules — but we’re happy to help you understand the site requirements and what services may be needed to move forward. Even if your subdivision is still in the planning stages, talking to a subdivision contractor early can help you avoid costly delays or surprises later on.
Elite Drainage provides trusted services for subdivisions and service connections across the Wairarapa. Contact us today to arrange a site visit and get expert advice on your next step.
As early as possible — especially for subdivisions. Early planning helps prevent delays with council or utility approvals.
Generally, property owners are responsible for maintaining the service connections within their property boundaries, including pipes and cables. The local council or utility providers are typically responsible for the infrastructure up to the property boundary. It's important to understand the delineation of responsibilities to ensure proper maintenance and to address any issues promptly.
