    Hi all,

    I've not yet spoken to my architect and council as i've just found a potential site that I think would suit a detached dual occupancy project. The block is in NSW and zoned R2 with a total area of 690sqm (15x46) and is dead flat. With the zoning regs, I don't think that I can get three villa's/townies on the site.

    Financial feasibility aside, what sort of a project comes to mind for the experienced developers?

    Regards
    Al

    It really depends on location of site.

    As you said, attached/detached dual occ...

    And/or child care center comes to top of mind.

    You may get away with single story starta titled villas (in some regional NSW council)

    Really depends on minimum lot size in the lga. If it's 550sqm a house and a granny flat. If it's 300 then 2 houses. Whole lot of variables.

    If it's a standard instrument LEP cl.4.1 might be of help.

    Gong council need 15m for dual occ, and 18m for multi dwelling. I don't recall they have min lot size as long as you meet the front/rear set back, private/open spaces etc. Most council in NSW allow dual occ on R2 zone, but you need to check if the end product can be community/strata titled, so you can sell each separately. For example, Blacktown council dual occ is permissible, but strata title the dual occ is not allowed.
