Dual occupancy housing is the use of land for two dwellings where the land was originally used or leased for single-dwelling housing. The dwellings may be attached or detached if the applicable planning controls allow it. Dual occupancy is a type of multi-unit housing, but that does not automatically mean the dwellings can be separately sold—subdivision or unit titling is a separate legal process.
