Duplex Architect Fairfield, Dual Occupancy Design & Approvals

Fairfield planning notes for dual occupancy

• Fairfield's controls focus on streetscape, private open space and parking, practical, buildable design is rewarded.
• Large parts of the LGA near the Georges and Cabramatta Creek catchments are flood-affected; finished floor levels and stormwater are central.
• R2 low-density zoning is common; confirm dual occupancy minimums in the LEP for your street.

In Fairfield we check the flood layer first on any low-lying block, because the flood planning level often drives floor heights and the whole ground-floor plan. Streetscape, private open space and parking are resolved next so the DA or CDC package reads as practical and buildable.
