The NSW Government supports the development of secondary dwelling/granny flat, through the
State Environment Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2009.
Home-owners wanting to build a Granny Flat in their backyard are no longer required to obtain Council approval
as long as their application meets the minimum Complying Development requirements that have been set out.
Note.
Home owner’s should always check and adhere to Planning Developments with local Council/Authorities
before going ahead with any building works; as the information provided is indicative.
