Hello everyone!!
I was told by a town planner at Blacktown city council that I could not do any subdivision on my 645sqm corner block in Tregear but could create a dual occupancy with one single and one double storey.
I would like all the feed back from you all to find a good and fairly priced project builder so I can eventually get this project underway.
I should precise that the only aim for this project is to make a profit .If you know of any passed similar project, please share your experience and sources with me .
I don't have any builders for you, but just some experience to give you some ideas.
If there is already a house on the block you might just be able to build up a story and turn that into dual occupancy. Generally this is pretty cheap as all the plumbing/sewerage/electricity is already there all the have to do is mimic it upstairs. Just make separate entrances and you could have dual occupancy for a fraction of the cost of building a completely new dwelling (plus later down the track you could sell it as one home, rather than trying to sell a dual occupancy block with two homes.)
Just an idea because my mother in law has done this and I know it was pretty cheap compared to building a new dwelling. Depends on what house is already there though. Good luck with it.
Wait, my wife just told me the company that adds stories is call raise-a-roof (or maybe raise-the-roof). You could have a look at them.

Email MeThanks,
Something to consider, very good idea.
I will investigate …Hi,
We do dual occupancy, granny flats and subdivision. In Blacktown for subdivision (separate titles) of a dual occupancy the council will generally only subdivide corner lots. Is you land a corner lot?
