A duplex in Carnes Hill is often not feasible, because the modern lots are small and most fall short of the Liverpool 600m2 minimum. This growth suburb runs 2010s and newer homes on 350 to 500m2 blocks, and on a typical new lot the honest answer is that the block is too small to split for a Torrens-title duplex. The area is the first thing I check, because the numbers rarely work on a compact estate lot.
Where a rare larger lot clears 600m2 a duplex is feasible, but most estate blocks do not, and the newer stock means a single home is usually the right call. I would rather be straight than sell you a duplex the block cannot carry. The ground is engineered off geotech, and there are no heritage overlays. Being newer, there is usually no asbestos to strip.
What I would check first on your Carnes Hill block: whether it clears the 600m2 minimum, which most estate lots do not, and the realistic single-home or dual-occupancy scope. That decides the direction.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the block and I will tell you honestly whether it is a duplex site.
