The Modern Subdivision Survival Guide (2026) (On Demand)

This On Demand was recorded on 22 September 2026.

Subdivisions have been part of New Zealand’s legal (and social) landscape since the 1840s and, while the fundamentals have not changed much, the issues facing lawyers are constantly evolving. 

To help you survive (and possibly thrive) in this area, join Vicki Toan as she dives into some of the current challenges and opportunities for subdivisions today. Vicki will look particularly at circumstances where relationships between people and parcels (or parts) of land continue despite subdivision, namely:

  • dealing with the ownership and management of common assets;
  • unit title subdivision; and 
  • the benefits of fee simple versus unit title cross-lease conversion.

Learning Outcomes

  • Update your knowledge for dealing with the ownership and management of common assets.
  • Improve your understanding of current issues relating to unit title subdivision.
  • Gain an appreciation of the benefits of fee simple versus unit title cross-lease conversion.


Who Should Watch?

Anyone involved in the subdivision industry, including property lawyers and legal executives, surveyors and planners. Environment and resource management lawyers might also find it useful.
