Dual Occupancy Developments in Mount Lewis
A duplex in Mount Lewis is a feasible dual-occupancy on the lots that clear the Canterbury-Bankstown 600m2 minimum. This small residential suburb near Bankstown CBD runs post-war and 1960s housing on standard blocks with increasing renewal activity, so a Torrens-title duplex on a qualifying lot is a sound play close to Bankstown. Some standard lots fall short, so the area is the first check.
The ground is engineered off geotech to suit the specific lot, and on a qualifying block a side-by-side duplex works cleanly. There are no broad heritage overlays, which keeps the approval path predictable. Where the existing home carries fibro a licensed asbestos strip-out comes first.
What I would check first on your Mount Lewis block: whether it clears the 600m2 minimum, the footing design, and the frontage. 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.
Buildana manages the full duplex development process in Mount Lewis — 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.

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 Canterbury-Bankstown Council controls, plus indicative end values, build cost, and likely yield.
⏱Dual occupancy floor plans designed for your Mount Lewis block — attached or detached configuration, vehicle access, private open space, and full Canterbury-Bankstown Council compliance..
⏱Full approval management: Statement of Environmental Effects, plans, reports, and all supporting documentation lodged with Canterbury-Bankstown Council or private certifier. We handle RFIs and conditions.
⏱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.
