Dual Living Melbourne

A dual occupancy home is one that has two residences on one title but also has a second living area under one roof. This secondary living area is completely separate from the main living area, which means it may have its own entrance, garage, bedroom, and amenities that aren't connected to the rest of the house.

• Downsizers can downsize without having to leave their family home because the house and backyard are divided into two smaller residences.
• You'll be able to make a consistent income.
• Many downsizers prefer to rent out their homes to their children in order to help them get on the property ladder at a lower cost while saving for a deposit.
• The added security of having other people in the house, especially if you are on vacation, is a plus.
• Providing downsizers with an asset that generates income after they have moved into a retirement community.

You can begin by scheduling a no-cost consultation with one of our Knockdown Rebuild specialists. We'll go through everything with you and see whether it's the best option for you. Following that, you select a home design and begin customising it.

• In Victoria, there are three main new residential zones, all of which allow for mixed occupancy development.
• The General Residential Zone (GRZ) allows for moderate home development with structures up to 10 metres tall.
• The Residential Growth Zone (RGZ) is the most development-friendly zone, with developments consisting of apartments and units that are typically four storeys or 13.5 metres high and located near major transportation facilities or significant retail districts.
• With dual occupancy developments, the Neighbourhood Residential Zone (NRZ) is more restrictive, and lot size concessions are provided at the council's discretion.
• Site limits, size, width, crossover placement, and orientation must all be considered for each zone.

There are a variety of dual occupancy home designs available at Hilton Rise, but they may need to be modified to comply with your zone's regulations.
