Duplex Architect Canterbury-Bankstown, Dual Occupancy Design & Approvals

Canterbury-Bankstown is Sydney's most populous LGA, with deep demand for well-designed dual occupancy. Many blocks suit a side-by-side duplex, but the Canterbury-Bankstown LEP and DCP still expect genuine design merit. We design duplexes that maximise these lots while satisfying the controls.

Canterbury-Bankstown planning notes for dual occupancy

Canterbury-Bankstown brings together the former Canterbury and Bankstown council areas, so legacy LEP/DCP provisions can vary from suburb to suburb.
Generous, regular R2 lots are common, but FSR, landscaped area and solar access to neighbours are the usual points assessors focus on.
Overland flow and local flooding affect parts of the Cooks and Georges River catchments; stormwater design matters.

Because the LGA carries two legacy frameworks, we confirm the governing controls for your street before we test the duplex envelope.
