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.
