This is no doubt an extremely basic question but you have to start somewhere!
If a property has 2 titles does this mean it is already approved to have 2 houses?
Thanks

No and yes. You would need to consult with the town planner from council with regards to what is contained in the Local Environmental Plan. The plan may state a minimum land size required for a house which may mean that you need both blocks in order to build a dwelling (or you may be able to build a pair of joined duplexes but not two freestanding houses). In some cases, some lots may come with a building entitlement but others may not be able to built upon (in order to keep one house per original lot).
Unless there is a development approval in place for each of the lots there is no approval to build anything.
Correct Scott! that answer is a definate MAYBE. Council consultation is necessary to establish what is permitted in terms of dwellings per lot. It may be that one has a flood zone overlay or has some other covenant or restrictionn on it that impedes building ability. Hope that helps.
AmandaThanks guys, that clarifies things for me

I also agree,..
That's a very big MAYBE..
Consult and clarify first to be sure.
