Granny Flats
A genuinely liveable second dwelling — for family, for guests, or for rental return.
A granny flat is a small building that has to work hard. Storage, acoustics, privacy from the main house and a sensible relationship to the yard matter far more at this scale than they do in a large home.
Secondary dwellings are built for three reasons in our experience: keeping family close, housing adult children, or generating rental income from land you already own. Each of those changes the brief slightly, and it is worth being clear about which one applies before drawing anything.
Setbacks, site coverage, private open space and drainage all determine what is possible on your block. We check those first, so what we show you is something that can actually be approved.
- You want to keep parents or adult children close but independent
- You are looking for rental return from your existing land
- You need a home office or guest accommodation separate from the house
- You want to know what your block will allow before committing

Questions
Granny Flats — frequently asked
It depends on your land size, setbacks, existing site coverage and local planning controls. We assess your property first and tell you plainly whether it works.
Secondary dwellings usually proceed as complying development where the block meets the criteria, otherwise through a development application. We manage whichever path applies.
In NSW a secondary dwelling can generally be rented separately. Rules vary by council and by state, so we confirm the position for your specific address.
