Side by Side Green Title Subdivision is the preferred method of subdivision in Western Australia. The reason for this is generally because people like to have their own street frontage and their own service connections. ​A Green Title Lot, also known as a Freehold Lot, refers to land or lots that generally have no common areas and that need to be shared. This means you own the title of the land on which your home stands, including all of its services. ​The reason it's often referred to as 'green title' is simply because the sketch on the certificate of title used to be shaded in a green colour. Most stand-alone homes in WA are Green Title, so your average house on a suburban street is likely to be Green Title. ​All costs relating to the Green Title are your responsibility (not shared). The only costs on Green Title land are standard rates and taxes. ​Pros of Side by Side Green Title Subdivision​ Each lot is completely independent of the other No strata meetings required No strata insurance Independent services for each lot “you own your own sewer connection” Preferred type of subdivision Potential for your own street frontage No common property No common services ​ Cons of Side by Side Green Title Subdivision Costs for each lot to have its own services will be greater Can be more expensive than strata subdivisions Costs of engineer to design new sewer connection Can be harder to meet minimum areas (R Codes) Potential for a minimum street frontage may affect garage / parking options Zenith Surveyings Subdivision Perth service is geared towards educating our clients throughout the process so they can understand the benefits of doing Green Title Subivision.
