Does every dual occupancy qualify for separate titles?

No. Building or obtaining approval for a dual occupancy does not automatically mean the two dwellings qualify for separate titles.

Creating separate unit titles involves a unit title subdivision, which must separately comply with the applicable Territory Plan subdivision requirements and the Unit Titles Act 2001.

Whether separate titles can be obtained therefore depends on whether the particular dual occupancy satisfies those requirements.
