Say what the land can do, and be right
Development potential sells. Overstating it invites a complaint after settlement, and the most common claim is the one most often wrong.
Where South Australia catches people out
You describe a block as having division potential
Every resulting allotment must satisfy the minimum site area and frontage that apply to that land, including the balance allotment. Being over the minimum overall does not mean another allotment is available.
Subject to consent covers you
It describes a process, not a possibility. Where the policy or an encumbrance prevents the outcome, there was never a consent available to be subject to.
The zone sounds permissive
Zones are state-wide but the numeric variations applied to each parcel are not. Two similar-looking properties in the same zone can carry different figures.
