MBA NSW0476 300 300South Granville Dual Occ. — Feasibility to Handover
A duplex in South Granville works on the qualifying blocks, and the suburb carries both R2 and R3 zoning. On R2 the larger of the 450 to 650m2 lots clear the Cumberland 600m2 minimum, while an R3 block opens a medium-density option worth checking. On a $1.0M to $1.3M market with Granville station a kilometre off and Parramatta Road close, a Torrens-title duplex on the right block is a sound play.
The ground is moderately reactive clay, so footings and the slab are engineered to suit across both dwellings. The post-war 1950s to 1970s stock nearly always carries asbestos, so a licensed strip-out comes first. A side-by-side is the usual configuration once the frontage checks out.
What I would check first on your South Granville block: the zoning, then the area against 600m2 and the frontage. The ageing stock means the land is often worth more than the house.
We build these fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Send me the block and I will tell you what it holds.

Zoning then area
South Granville carries R2 and R3, so the zoning is the first check on any block.
On R2 the larger 450 to 650m2 lots clear the Cumberland 600m2 minimum; an R3 block may support medium density instead.
Post-war ground and stripping
The moderately reactive clay means footings and slab engineered to suit on both dwellings.
A 1950s to 1970s home almost always needs a licensed asbestos strip-out, and on ageing stock the land often outvalues the house.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Free feasibility check on your South Granville block. We measure frontage width, confirm zoning (R2 Low Density & R3 Medium Density), check minimum lot size against 600m² requirement, and review Cumberland City Council's DCP controls. Written feasibility report within 5 business days.
⏱Two dwellings, one site — design is mostly about geometry. Frontage split, party wall position, garage stacking, private courtyard size, and the streetscape elevation a certifier will actually approve. We work the design until both sides feel like proper homes, not mirror-image apartments.
⏱DA through Cumberland City Council (40–90 days) or CDC (10–15 business days). South Granville is zoned R2 Low Density & R3 Medium Density. Construction Certificate obtained before works commence.
⏱Dual construction runs 9–14 months. Engineered slabs sized for Class M soil, simultaneous frame-up, staggered fit-out for efficiency. Your project manager coordinates all trades and inspections.
⏱Two homes, two titles, two OCs, two warranty packs. We hand over a clean documentation set per dwelling: certifier reports, BASIX certs, structural sign-offs, appliance warranties, maintenance schedules. Whatever the next owner or buyer asks for is in the file.
