Cato Bolam is proud to partner with W & T Development Ltd in delivering a new 41-lot subdivision at Hawaiian Parade, Arkles Bay — a carefully planned coastal neighbourhood designed to protect the environment, make the most of its setting and bring long-term value to residents and the wider community.

Rural subdivision can unlock retirement funds, reduce debt, or support family succession. From site assessment to smart design, timing, and navigating evolving planning rules, these five steps help landowners understand how to create lasting value for their rural land.
