Subdivision of lot and build another at the back.

Hi all,

I'm planning to buy a house with enough land at the back, subdivide, and build another house or duplex there.

Did some research on council for building dual occupancy but didn't really understand the clause:

"3) Where, in accordance with this plan, development for the purpose of a dwelling-house may be carried out on an allotment of land to which this clause applies, a person may, with the consent of the Council, carry out dual occupancy development on the allotment.

(4) The Council must not consent to development referred to in subclause (3), unless:

(a) the area of the allotment on which the 2 dwellings are to be erected or created:

(i) in the case of land within Zone No 1 (c1), is not less than 2 hectares, or

(ii) in the case of land within Zone No 1 (c2), is not less than 4,000 square metres, or

(iii) in the case of land within Zone No 2 (a) or 2 (c), is not less than 600 square metres for attached, and not less than 800 square metres for detached dwellings, and

(b) it is satisfied that adequate arrangements have been made for:

(i) the removal and disposal of waste from each dwelling, and

(ii) the supply of water to, and the disposal of sewage and stormwater from, each dwelling, and

(iii) the privacy of the occupants of each dwelling and any adjacent development, and

(iv) access to natural light for each dwelling and for any adjacent buildings, and

(v) off-street car parking for each dwelling.

 

"

Questions are (If I understand them all correctly):

1. 2 dwellings mean 1 existing house, and another house at the back? Can it be 1 existing house and a duplex at the back?

2. Say a land is 600 sqm, I cannot build another house at the back, but if a land is 800 sqm I can build another one at the back?

3. Say a land is 800 sqm can be subdivide to 2 lots front and back and build a duplex at the back?

Thanks in advance.
