Yes. It is not straight forward however it can be done with the correct paperwork.

Would you be living with your daughter while the property is demolished and rebuilt?

Is your daughter married/in relationship? If yes, have you thought about what happens if she splits from her partner?

This is all something we can help you with.
 
Before doing anything, you ought to check with a financial planner about the Centrelink consequences (if any). The last thing you want is for your pensions to be affected. Having said that, I do believe it is doable, but you ought to get lots of advice first.

HI
It is a good idea for you to divide your land to build a duplex and have one your daughter to live.
You should apply first to the council for your proposed plan of subdivision.
Hope you have a good day.
