MBA NSW0476 300 300East Ryde Dual Occ. — Feasibility to Handover
A duplex in East Ryde works on the lots that clear the Ryde 580m2 minimum, with riparian setbacks and tree controls to plan for. This small enclave between North Ryde and the Lane Cove River runs post-war brick and 1960s to 1980s detached on 600 to 900m2 blocks, so most clear 580. At a $2.0M to $3.0M market a Torrens-title duplex on a qualifying lot is a sound play, though the substantial fall to the Lane Cove River brings riparian setbacks on the river-fall edge.
The ground is Wianamatta Shale with sandstone outcrops on the river-fall edge, so footings are engineered off geotech and the fall handled in the siting on both dwellings. Tree preservation is strict, so the canopy is worked around. Where the existing home carries fibro a licensed asbestos strip-out comes first.
What I would check first on your East Ryde block: whether it clears the 580m2 minimum, the riparian setbacks on the river-fall edge, and the tree constraints. Those set the dual-occ.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the block and I will tell you what dual-occupancy it carries.

River-fall and trees
The Wianamatta Shale with sandstone outcrops on the river-fall edge means footings engineered off geotech with the fall handled in the siting.
Tree preservation is strict, so the canopy is worked around, with older fibro stripped under licence first.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Feasibility covers the planning side and the financial side. Yes-or-no on whether the block supports dual occupancy under City of Ryde Council controls, plus indicative end values, build cost, and likely yield. The point is to kill bad sites before you spend on design — not after.
⏱Dual occupancy floor plans designed for your East Ryde block — attached or detached configuration, vehicle access, private open space, and full City of Ryde Council compliance.
⏱Full approval management: Statement of Environmental Effects, plans, reports, and all supporting documentation lodged with City of Ryde Council or private certifier. We handle RFIs and conditions. CC follows.
⏱Construction follows a tight programme: dual slabs in one mobilisation, paired frame stand, simultaneous lock-up, then trades rotate between sides for fit-out so no day is lost waiting on availability. The schedule is engineered, not optimistic.
⏱Both dwellings handed over with individual Occupation Certificates. Subdivision lodged for separate titles. Separate metering installed. 6-year structural warranty per dwelling.
