Do I need a permit to build a granny flat on my property?

There are regulations around the size of granny flats, their proximity to the primary dwelling and, depending on the location, what it will be used for. Get in touch with our team for more information and we’ll help you navigate any necessary permits to build a secondary dwelling on your property.

How big can a granny flat be?

Size limits vary depending on local guidelines, but there are generally restrictions on floor area and placement. The available space on your block, as well as setbacks and access, will also influence the final design and layout.

A well-designed granny flat can increase the usability of your property and may improve its overall value. It adds extra living space, which can appeal to a range of buyers or provide long-term flexibility for changing household needs.
