What is a Preliminary Strata Plan?

A Preliminary Strata Plan is a document required for strata subdivision applications. It outlines the layout of the proposed strata lots and includes:

Lot boundaries – Defining individual property ownership


Common property areas – Shared spaces like driveways, gardens & lifts


Car spaces, storage & exclusive use areas – Clearly designated for each lot


Encumbrances & easements – Legal restrictions that may apply

This plan is required for:

Council or Strata Certifier approvals – A crucial step in the approval process
Contracts of sale – Ensuring buyers know exactly what they’re purchasing

Without a Preliminary Strata Plan, you can’t legally proceed with strata subdivision.

    Very professional people. I was dealing with Melik, I thought it would be impossible to get the survey plans ready within a week, he assured me it would be ready and before a week it was ready and perfect. I highly recommend c and a Surveyers.

    What an experience. From start to finish. Building and developing can be stressful enough as it is but using a company like C&A definitely can reduce that stress. Can’t speak highly enough of the whole team at C&A.. They were very professional and on time every time and were extremely helpful through the entire process. Special thanks to Celso who was awesome to deal with on site
