FACT SHEET—DUAL OCCUPANCY A dual occupancy development is where two residential dwellings are, or are proposed to be, located on a single allotment of land. These types of proposals are sometimes known as “Duplexes”, “Granny Flats” or “Studios”. Under Council’s Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and corresponding Development Control Plan (DCP) there are three (3) main types of dual occupancy development: ♦ Detached Dual Occupancy ♦ Attached Dual Occupancy ♦ Granny Flat (Secondary Dwelling) The LEP and DCP sets out the broad planning requirements, rules and regulations for a range of development types, including dual occupancy. This Fact Sheet explains how you can apply for approval for these types of developments and what issues require specific consideration. For information on secondary dwellings in rural areas (rural workers’ dwellings), please refer to the separate Council Fact Sheet. Attached & Detached Dual Occupancy Attached and detached dual occupancies are permissible uses in a wide range of land use zones in the Shire. To check whether or not a dual occupancy is permitted on your land, the first step is to obtain a section 10.7(2) planning certificate, or, send a letter to Council with a sketch of your proposal seeking confirmation that a dual occupancy is allowed on the land. Both attached and detached dual occupancies require a Development Application (DA) to be submitted and approved by Council.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to seek the assistance of a suitably qualified and experienced building professional when collating their plans and supporting documentation.

FACT SHEET—DUAL OCCUPANCY A dual occupancy development is where two residential dwellings are, or are proposed to be, located on a
single allotment of land. These types of proposals are sometimes known as “Duplexes”, “Granny Flats” or
“Studios”. Under Council’s Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and corresponding Development Control Plan (DCP)
there are three (3) main types of dual occupancy development:
♦ Detached Dual Occupancy
♦ Attached Dual Occupancy
♦ Granny Flat (Secondary Dwelling)
The LEP and DCP sets out the broad planning requirements, rules and regulations for a range of development
types, including dual occupancy. This Fact Sheet explains how you can apply for approval for these types of
developments and what issues require specific consideration.
For information on secondary dwellings in rural areas (rural workers’ dwellings), please refer to the separate
Council Fact Sheet.
Attached & Detached Dual Occupancy
Attached and detached dual occupancies are permissible uses in a wide range of land use zones in the Shire.
To check whether or not a dual occupancy is permitted on your land, the first step is to obtain a section 10.7(2)
planning certificate, or, send a letter to Council with a sketch of your proposal seeking confirmation that a
dual occupancy is allowed on the land. Both attached and detached dual occupancies require a Development
Application (DA) to be submitted and approved by Council. Examples of attached and detached dual occu-
pancy developments are provided in the pictures below:
A range of development standards exist for detached and attached dual occupancy, for example, landscaping
requirements, parking rate provision, building setbacks and vehicle access arrangements. These standards are
fully detailed in the Liverpool Plains Shire Development Control Plan which can be downloaded from the Coun-
cil’s website www.lpsc.nsw.gov.au. Prospective applicants are encouraged to seek the assistance of a suitably
qualified and experienced building professional when collating their plans and supporting documentation. It is
also recommended that contact be made with Council early (well in advance of lodgement) to ensure that the
mation on application of the AHSEPP is also available from this
website.
