Dual occupancy in Moreton Bay.
Casa Daily delivers a daily AI-scored brief of dual occupancy opportunities in Moreton Bay, Queensland. Every fresh REA listing in City of Moreton Bayis scored 0-100 against the live planning scheme, the lot's actual geometry, and 95,000+ historical Moreton Bay DA records. Dual occupancy is the most-mistaken opportunity type in SEQ — half the listings advertised as 'duplex potential' won't carry one once you read the planning scheme honestly.
Why dual-occupancy sites work in Moreton Bay
Moreton Bay's planning scheme is unusually generous on secondary dwellings, RoL with reduced minimum lot sizes in nominated precincts, and code-assessable detached dwelling pathways. Casa Daily tracks every Moreton Bay listing against the precinct mapping and 95,000+ approval records to catch the genuinely subdividable lots.
For dual-occupancy sites specifically: Two dwellings of equal status on a single lot — duplex pair (attached), side-by-side detached, or front/rear arrangement. In Queensland planning language this is a Material Change of Use (MCU), almost always Code Assessable in the LMR (Brisbane), MD1 (Gold Coast), or equivalent zones. Casa Daily distinguishes dual occupancy from secondary dwelling (granny flat) — they trigger completely different planning paths.
