    Hi there,

    What are the major obstacles in building of a duplex in NSW and Victoria? How the zoning and council rules are applied? Title options.

    I thought to invest in construction of the modern duplex on a corner block or a wider front lot.

    Cheers

    Land size, land size, land size. That is the main constraint. Many councils willnot allow subdivision below x m2 so often you will not have the option of creating separate titles for each block. However, if you are clued up, you may be able to achieve a SEPP5 (or equiv in Victoria) allowing you to create 3 or more over 55's units on a block which would only give rise to a single house, eg 18m frontage with 35 m deep. However you need to be able to tick all of the other boxes to get the approval (the upside is you can get 3 units as opposed to 2 however they may take longer to sell).
