Does a dual-occupancy DA require a Development Outcomes Report?
Yes. A Development Outcomes Report (DOR) is required for a dual-occupancy Development Application in the ACT. The Minimum DA Documentation Guideline specifically marks the Development Outcomes Report as required for dual occupancy
The DOR is essentially the document that explains why your dual-occupancy proposal should be approved under the Territory Plan.
Rather than just submitting drawings, the report explains how the proposal responds to the relevant planning requirements and Assessment Outcomes.
For a dual occupancy, the documentation guideline also separately identifies a Design Response as required. So the DOR and Design Response should not be assumed to be the same document.
