Thinking about building a granny flat on your property in Sydney, Australia?

Granny Flats have become a popular option for homeowners seeking additional living space or rental income. These self-contained living units can be constructed on the same property as the primary dwelling, providing a cost-effective and versatile housing solution. When planning to build a granny flat, there are several important factors to consider, including local council regulations, styles, and designs, just to name a few. Aussie Home Renovations are the local experts and are always happy to help.

Local Council Regulations

Before embarking on any granny flat construction project, it is crucial to be well-informed about the local council regulations and zoning laws in Sydney. Each council has its own set of rules and guidelines governing the construction of granny flats, including requirements for setbacks, maximum size, height restrictions, parking, and more. These regulations are designed to ensure that the construction adheres to safety standards and maintains the character of the neighbourhood. Aussie Home Renovations are familiar with the local council regulations and can help streamline the approval process and avoid potential setbacks or additional costs.

One-Bedroom Granny Flats

One-bedroom designs offer a bit more privacy and space, with a separate bedroom and living area, along with a bathroom and a small kitchenette.

Two-Bedroom Granny Flats

For larger families or those looking for more extensive living arrangements, two-bedroom granny flats provide ample space with multiple bedrooms, a living area, kitchen, and bathroom. These are by far the most popular build choice across Sydney.

Attached Granny Flats

In some cases, homeowners may choose to convert existing space within their main house into a granny flat or alternatively extend on the main house. This could involve converting a garage, attic, or a portion of the house to create a separate living unit.
