Helping you get approved, sorted and certified, without the headache
Wollongong Subdivision Certifiers Who Know This Town Inside and Out
Planning a subdivision in Wollongong? You’ve probably already figured out it’s not as simple as splitting a block in two and calling it a day. Between council requirements, infrastructure checks, and planning laws that seem to change every other week, there’s a lot to get your head around.
At Statewide Certifiers, we help Wollongong developers, builders and property owners get their subdivisions certified fast, and properly. Whether you’re working on a Torrens title split, a dual occupancy, or a strata development, we’ll guide you through every step so you don’t waste time (or money) going back and forth.
Why Choose Our Wollongong Subdivision Certifiers?
We don’t just review your plans and stamp a certificate. We help you plan out the process from the start, so you know exactly what’s needed—and when. That means fewer delays, no nasty surprises, and way less stress.
We’ve worked on all sorts of projects throughout Wollongong, from small backyard subdivisions to full-scale developments. If it needs to be subdivided, we’ve probably certified it.
Torrens or Strata? We Do Both
There’s a lot of confusion out there about what kind of subdivision you need. Here’s the quick version:
Torrens Title
That’s when each new lot is completely separate, with its land title.
Strata Subdivision
That’s for when you’ve got shared walls, common driveways, or apartments, anything with shared property.
Our team is certified to issue both Subdivision Works Certificates and final Subdivision Certificates. We’ll also help you stay in line with the rules in Wollongong’s subdivision guidelines, so there’s no hold-up at council or the land registry office.

Frequently Asked Questions
The biggest mistake is starting the certification process too late. Developers often wait until the final stages of their project, only to realise that crucial approvals were needed earlier. This leads to costly delays, unexpected expenses, and last-minute scrambling to meet compliance requirements.
Solution: Engage a certifier early in the project, understand your required approvals, and keep up with NSW regulations to prevent delays.
The most significant update is the Low Rise Housing Diversity SEPP, which streamlines approvals for terraces, manor houses, and dual occupancies. This regulation allows private certifiers to handle approvals instead of councils, speeding up the process for developers.
Key Takeaways:
- Faster approvals but stricter design conditions.
- Specific zoning, lot size, and frontage requirements.
- Infrastructure compliance is crucial for approval.
Land certification has shifted away from council-controlled approvals, giving developers more flexibility. Private certifiers now handle many approvals, reducing red tape and shortening wait times.
Future Outlook: The industry will continue moving toward digital processes and streamlined assessments, making it easier for developers who stay informed.
The most common cause of delays is appointing a certifier too late. Missing documentation, incomplete applications, and misunderstandings about regulations can also stall approvals.
How to avoid delays:
- Engage a certifier at the DA approval stage.
- Ensure all required documents are submitted upfront.
- Follow a structured compliance checklist to prevent missed steps.
Torrens Title is used for standalone properties where each lot has direct land ownership. Strata Subdivision is for multi-dwelling developments with shared spaces, such as apartments or townhouses.
When to choose which:
- Torrens Title: Best for projects with separate land ownership.
- Strata Subdivision: Ideal for developments with shared structures.
