BBC dual occ rental rules

Hi All,

Does anyone know the current BBC attitude to building a duplex that looks like a regular highset but contains a separate unit with all services etc separate in normal resi zoning ?

Can you lease to 2 unrelated parties ? do they reject these outright or consider on case by case basis ? assuming normal 405ish block in normal low density zone.

 

Assuming you mean BCC?? As in Brisbane.
And the answer to the best of my knowledge is you cannot lease to unrelated parties. You can have a duplex but each residency must be on a separate title to lease to separate parties.

 

IIRC correctly you can lease a granny flat on the same title but you have until December to get approval before they close it up.

Also IIRC if you lease it to 3 people who are not known then you open yourself to hostel rules. Seen many houses where it was clearly a hostel as rooms (sometimes up to 6) were rented to students.

 

Yes, Brisbane County Council area/s

It will get down to planning laws, have they approved building a duplex of some kind on 405m2

I have not looked closely before for a few reasons.
