Frequently Asked Questions

A: If your prefab house is intended as an extension to an existing house, you typically won't require a permit. However, if it's to be built on vacant land, a permit will be necessary. The regulations regarding granny flats can vary from state to state in Australia, and in some cases, council approval may not be obligatory.

Navigating the diverse regulations across Australian states and councils can be a daunting task, as each has its own set of rules. Many councils are now adopting more lenient approaches towards granny flat regulations and planning permits. Therefore, it's advisable to liaise with your local council to obtain all the necessary information for installing a granny flat.

While some councils may permit the use of portable buildings as offices, studios, or workshops without an occupancy permit, others may require alternative approvals based on zoning regulations.

Council permits for portable buildings, granny flats, and transportable homes vary depending on factors such as size and type. These homes, being manufactured buildings, are constructed in factories. Larger structures may necessitate a Section 68 permit and Development Application from the local authorities.

Regarding building permits, granny flats, portable buildings, and manufactured homes adhere to the Building Code of Australia, which sets standards akin to those for conventional brick and mortar constructions. However, unlike brick and mortar buildings, they typically do not require Construction Certificates or Basix, which can incur significant costs.

The secondary dwelling can be a maximum of 80 square metres in size and must be located within 20 metres of the dwelling house code. No planning approval is required as long as you meet the accepted development criteria in the Dwelling house code or Dwelling house (small lot) code.
