In Queensland, a secondary dwelling (granny flat) on a house lot is often accepted development, subject to the planning scheme for your council. It still needs building approval from a certifier and must meet setbacks, site cover, flood and overlay rules.
Since 2022, Queensland rules allow secondary dwellings to be rented to anyone, not just family, which is good news for investors. Check current rules with your council.
Our Complete package covers drafting, engineering and building approval. Not sure where to start? The Site Suitability Check answers it for your exact lot.
