CHANGE TO GRANNY FLAT RULES IN QUEENSLAND

30/9/2022

0 Comments

 
A recent change in regulations regarding granny flats in Queensland, means that homeowners can now rent out their granny flat to anyone, regardless of their relationship with the tenant. The measure aims to alleviate the pressure on the rental market. This provides a great opportunity for homeowners to generate an extra income, while opening up more housing options for renters.

The regulations regarding size of the granny flat, parking requirements and position on the block, vary from Council to Council. We have developed a range of simple quick guides that outline the current rules in the Moreton Bay, Somerset, Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Gympie and Gladstone Council areas. They also describe the steps to take to get your granny flat built, and give an indication of expected costs.

Granny flats offer several benefits beyond just additional income. They can provide a comfortable living space for elderly parents, adult children, or guests, while still allowing them to maintain their independence and privacy. Additionally, granny flats can increase the value of your property and offer more flexibility in terms of living arrangements.
