Feasibility Study
Quick, developer-grade due diligence so you can decide with confidence yield, risks, and the fastest path to consent.
Built for Auckland developers, builders, and landowners.
Cut Through the Confusion
Drowning in rules? The Unitary Plan, overlays, HIRB, and setbacks can feel like a maze.
Not sure who you need? Surveyor, planner, civil/hydraulic, geotech—what reports, in what order?
Worried about time and budget blowouts? One missed requirement can stall everything.
Auckland subdivisions are complex. You’re juggling Resource Consent, engineering inputs (three-waters, accessways), and council conditions—often at the same time. A smart feasibility looks at zoning and overlays, services and overland flow, access gradients and vehicle tracking, plus the paperwork you’ll need for consenting.
No two sites are identical. Costs and timelines swing with zone and overlays, hazards and servicing capacity, driveway design, and neighbours’ effects. Every stage—Feasibility → Design & Consenting → Construction & Subdivision → Titles/CCC—has its own risks: RFIs, redesigns, and unexpected upgrades.
That’s where My Subdivision helps. We turn the rules into a plain-English roadmap, line up the right specialists at the right time, and give you realistic costs and programme—so you avoid rework and keep momentum. From first look to sign-offs, you’ll know the next step and why it matters.
What We Check (Site & Rules Audit)
- Planning: Zone, overlays, MDRS applicability, HIRB, setbacks, site coverage, impervious area.
- Servicing & Access: Stormwater/wastewater/water supply capacity, overland flow paths, flood hazards, vehicle crossing & gradients, tracking/sightlines.
- Site Constraints: Slope & geotech, protected trees/SEAs, heritage, contamination (HAIL), coastal/inundation risk.
- Yield & Typologies: Likely unit count, townhouse/duplex options, parking & outdoor living, privacy/outlook.
- Risks & Consents: Affected-party approvals, likely consent conditions, potential infrastructure upgrades, referrals you’ll need.
How It Works
(Process & Timing)
Kickoff
You share the site address/LIM, goals, and constraints.
Desktop Study
Planning rules, overlays, hazards, and services desktop checks.
Specialist Inputs
Civil/three-waters and geotech checks as needed.
Recommendations
Report, yield options, and a clear action plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you visit the site?
Desktop is standard; site walkover/topo can be added if needed.
Will you talk to Council?
We can request pre-app guidance or coordinate with planners where it adds value.
What data do you use?
Auckland Unitary Plan, Council GIS layers (overlays/hazards), services information, and consultant inputs.
What if the site isn’t viable?
You’ll get clear reasons, alternatives (re-scope, staging, different typology), and a next-best path.
