A duplex in Centennial Park costs $750,000–$1,500,000+ for dual occupancy construction. Attached duplex from $750K, detached from $1M. Buildana manages feasibility, Woollahra Municipal Council approvals, construction and subdivision under one fixed-price contract.
Dual Occupancy Developments in Centennial Park
The 600m² minimum is not what stops a duplex in Centennial Park. The heritage mapping is. Woollahra's Heritage Conservation Areas cover virtually every street wrapping the Parklands, protecting grand Federation and Victorian mansions on 300 to 800m² blocks, and demolishing a contributory item to build two dwellings is a DA that goes nowhere. Even the blocks that clear the lot-size line fail the character test that comes after it.
At $4M to $10M medians, the honest maths favours a different project anyway: restoring and extending a significant home here beats compromising it into a pair. The rare duplex candidate is a non-contributory post-war anomaly on a larger lot. They exist, barely.
What I would check first on a Centennial Park block: the heritage schedule and whether it is contributory, the lot size, and the streetscape character test. Those decide it before design.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. If you think you hold a candidate, send the address and we will check the heritage schedule before anyone draws a line.
Buildana manages the full duplex development process in Centennial Park — from feasibility assessment and architectural design through to DA or CDC approval, and fixed-price construction to dual handover. One builder, one contract, two homes.

Heritage, not lot size, is the blocker
Woollahra's Heritage Conservation Areas cover virtually every street wrapping the Parklands, protecting grand Federation and Victorian mansions. Demolishing a contributory item to build two dwellings is a DA that goes nowhere, so even blocks that clear the 600m² line fail the character test after it.
So the heritage schedule, not the lot size, is what we check first on a Centennial Park block.
The maths favours restoration
At $4M to $10M medians, the honest maths favours a different project anyway. Restoring and extending a significant home here beats compromising it into a pair.
The rare duplex candidate is a non-contributory post-war anomaly on a larger lot, and they barely exist. Send the address and we will check the schedule before anyone draws a line.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
We assess your Centennial Park block — lot size (typical 300–800m²), width, R2 Low zoning, setbacks, FSR, landscaped area requirements under Woollahra Municipal Council's LEP and DCP. Minimum lot for duplex: 600m².
⏱Design phase covers unit layout, access, parking, private open space, and waste management for dual occupancy on your Centennial Park site. You approve final plans before we move to lodgement.
⏱Duplex approvals get scrutinised harder than single dwellings — neighbour notification, overshadowing, privacy, traffic, waste. Our SEE addresses each on the front foot rather than reactively.
⏱Fixed-price construction of both dwellings from slab to keys. Class M engineered footings, frame, lock-up, internal fit-out, and external works.
⏱Subdivision registration starts in parallel with final fitout so titles issue close to handover, not 6 months after. Buildana coordinates the surveyor and Woollahra Municipal Council clearance — important if you're planning to sell one side immediately to fund the next move.
⏱Quality Promise
We build duplexes in Centennial Park end-to-end — feasibility, design, DA/CDC, dual-slab construction, subdivision. One contract.
