What’s The Difference Between duplex And dual occupancy?
Dual Occupancy
Dual occupancies can be attached or detached – however, the block they’re built on is always considered one piece of land and can not be subdivided. Compared to a duplex, this could limit your profits when selling, however there will typically be lower council fees.
Duplexes
Duplexes will often look the same as a dual occupancy home yet the two households are considered separate dwellings and therefore have separate titles. As Duplexes can be subdivided, they can offer more flexibility and a potentially higher profit when selling.

How much does it cost to build a duplex?
The costs associated with building a duplex vary based on the size of your block, the design and your choice of fittings. If you’ll be knocking down an existing home, this will also incur some additional costs, with demolition fees ranging between $17,000 and $40,000.
