Let’s now explore how the $3K deposit works, what the NSW Low-Rise Housing Diversity Code means for you, and why there’s never been a better moment to build a duplex.
What is the Low-Rise Housing Diversity Code?
One of the biggest reasons to build right now is the NSW Low-Rise Housing Diversity Code, which is making it easier and faster to get duplexes approved across a wider range of suburbs.
This code, introduced by the NSW Government, allows one and two-storey dual occupancies (duplexes), manor houses, and terraces to be approved through a fast-tracked complying development process, provided the build meets a set of planning and design standards. The aim is to increase housing diversity in suburban areas while keeping the approval process streamlined and consistent.
Here’s how the new code benefits you:
- Faster approvals: You can often skip the long wait for council DA and go straight through a private certifier.
- More locations: The code applies to most residential R1, R2, R3, and RU5 zones, opening up new areas for duplex builds.
- Less red tape: With standardised design criteria, you know what to expect and can confidently move forward.
- Greater flexibility: Duplexes offer the option to live in one and rent the other, accommodate multi-generational families, or simply enjoy more space for your lifestyle.
Lower Upfront Costs – Just $3,000 to Secure Your Duplex
We’ve lowered our duplex deposit from $5,000 to just $3,000 for a limited time only. You may start building with less money up front and spend your funds on bringing your ideal design to life. Now is the perfect time to take the first step to a smart, spacious home with even greater flexibility.
However, our discounted duplex deposit is only available until June 30th, so this offer won’t last for long.
Why a Duplex is a Smart Choice in 2025?
As land prices rise and population grows, building a duplex offers unbeatable value:
- Double your investment potential: Two homes on one block means more rental income or long-term value.
- More space, more possibilities: Whether it’s space for your family or a second income stream, a duplex gives you flexible options.
- Smart, future-focused living: Modern duplexes are energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and designed for contemporary life.
