no you can't :p best use is a detached duplex (strata tiled) that you can sell seperatly

The 170m2 main dwelling + 70m2 aux should possible on 500m2. I would recommend attached rather than detached since you need 4 parking space ( maybe a double garage and tandem 2 car space in front of garage. 1 set of Infra fee should be payable for this configuration, but 2 set of council rate...

The initial Fact sheet came out didn't specify how many room you can have. Later it was included in the definition of auxiliary unit, that you must have max 2 bedroom. In NSW, the 60m2 max floor space, I have seen 4 bedroom granny flat approved and built. You can ask LCC if a study/media room...

For the Dual Occ (aux unit), you need: Must have a minimum of four car spaces (including two spacesfor the primary dwelling). Council rates apply for Auxiliary unit. yuck :eek:

Correct. In YoungBull situation, if the block was subdivided creating a vacant 497m2 lot, the infra fee is immediately payable. However if YB is to submit application for subdivision and at the same time to build, then the infra is payable when construction completed, not when the...

Impact assessment Good to hear the impact assessment does not incur extra or significant cost. The longer time for impact assessment is because it requires notification of neighbors and need to wait a period. If there are objections, there may be further delays. infra fees here is my...

how about attached revised plan? Sorry i had to stalk your property details on rpdata, but your personal details will remain anonymous to SS member.. I am guessing there is about $15-20k difference in cost between Dual Occ and Subdivision ( that is not factoring the infra fees as it would...

The reconfigured lot in Title 1 is still a corner lot. The aux unit built on Title 1 will have separate driveway/entrance..privacy isn't compromised The 70m2 floor space does not include garage. You can build attached 20-30m2 garage. You can move laundry room to garage and still have room for...

I am loving this post. YoungBull, I was thinking of the attached. I am not exact sure of the subdivision cost to do reconfigure 1 into 2 lot. In your case it is reconfigure 1 x 994m2 into 2 x 494m2 ( assuming you're doing your feasibility with LCC to confirm if this is possible under new...

Welcome to the SS family. It's great to see so many option you can have with your block. This is one reason why I chose property with a twist that will give me plenty of options and strategic play. If I purchased an apartment, I can only chose the yellow, white, blue, or purple colour for the...

A dual occupancy would require fire separation, and fire separation of an already built ground/floor is almost impossible if not very expensive that most people walk away. Separation of a vertical, though expensive, is often achievable.

I am guessing a 45% or 50% for LDR-Suburban. Interesting how they miss it when more than 50% of LCC are LDR-Surburban precinct Main house 100m2 (85m2 + 15m2 garage) Aux 85m2 (70m2 + 15m2 garage) Total 185m2 Say a 200m2 floor space with a 45% site coverage means you need a 450m2 if a...

It's best for Encarta to write LCC an email, as this is border line thing

You can have dual occupancy ( aux or 2 title), but you're limited in bedrooms you can have... likely be a 3 bed + 2 bed configuration. If you existing dwelling is 4 bed, then new dwelling is 1 bed. You can mimic the drawings you submit for approval...

I think you may be right on this one, but have to check. If you already paid infra on the existing/old dwelling, it makes sense not to charge or credit for it.

Congrats, corner 700m2 is hard to come by now in LCC yes, agreed. I think the more you read, the more confusing it becomes :D LCC really shouldn't be muddled up with the auxiliary unit with dual occupancy, because in their scheme they used Dual Occupancy (auxiliary units) I would simply...

There is confusion in the LCC new plan. It appears you can subdivide a corner block of 700m2 into 2 x 350m2. The Reconfigure of a Lot code requires an average lot size in the Suburban precinct to be 500m. As such to subdivide the lot you would need 1000m Here is my view of what you can or...

In NSW, max is 60m2. some called it a shoe box, some believe its enough single mother and her child. the LCC 70m2 allows attached garage I believe. If you move the laundry to the garage, you could fit a small sized 3 bedroom, or 2 reasonable size bedroom + lounge. Avoid brick as it eats 3-5m2...

the 'side driveway', I guess you mean the access handle9similar to battle axe) to the aux unit? Correct i am not seeing anywhere in the LCC document that a 2.5m or 3.5m is width access is required to the aux unit. There also no mention the min lot size to build an aux unit. Does this mean on a...

This is the information I got from LCC: They received signoff from the State Government as per the announcement. The scheme will go to the next full council meeting mid May 2015 for formal adoption. The outcome of this meeting will determine the adaption date. This adaption may be likely...
