Government Supporting Affordable Rental Housing

The NSW Government has made granny flats easier and faster to build. The NSW Government aims to help mums and dads create a place for those who need a space of their own, like elderly parents or those generation Y children who haven't yet left home. These secondary dwellings also give families the chance to use a Granny Flat as a source of additional income in these challenging economic times.

The Affordable Rental Housing SEPP policy will help families by:

• Allowing your granny flat to be approved as complying development in 10 days.
• Allowing you to build a granny flat in all residential zones.
• Setting clear standards for the construction of your granny flat.
