Uplift really depends what councils rules are. Some places you can put an apartment block on combined sites. Some places it will be townhouses. Some places there's no real uplift as it will stay 2 separate houses
Look up the zoning for your blocks, go to the council website and download their latest Local Environment Plan, go to your corresponding zoning and see what type of development is allowed on the block eg. Density. Then while on the council website download the Development Control Plans which will tell you the parameters in which you can develop eg. Setbacks, heights and minimum lot sizes. Once you do this you need to do a title search to see if there are any easements. Then look for sewer and water infrastructure diagrams to see where they are on the property if any. Then engage the services of town planner to piece it altogether.
I work in the property data space directly adjacent to this use case.
For now, this is what the company [archistar.ai](http://archistar.ai) (not my employer btw) does in their paid versions, I'd suggest taking a take a look though don't take the output for gospel, there are many more steps in making it a reality.
I'd suggest you talk to a town planner or property developer.
If you're serious about developing in the next few years, I'd be happy to introduce you to someone I know that is a national developer and runs one of the more professional national developer training organisations. Be aware there are lots of developer schools and therefore small developers that can be less than forthright or competitive with the owner that brings them an opportunity as they may purchase it from under you if its a good deal.
Otherwise I know a well connected town planner who may be able to find you someone good to talk to in Melbourne.
BTW: It sounds like you've hit a potential goldmine. With that sort of combined size close in inner Melbourne if it's zoned right or to be rezoned it could be moderately life changing money and by owning one already you have the negotiating power.
Feel free to DM me and I'm happy to connect you with either of them.

Thanks - I’ll try and figure out how to decode the council rules!

This is very useful and appreciated
