House + Granny Flat

No. One of the biggest advantages of a house and granny flat development is that both dwellings remain on the same title. This allows you to create additional living space or rental opportunities without the cost and complexity of subdivision.

Yes, in many cases you can.  Western Australian planning policies allow an ancillary dwelling (commonly called a granny flat) on many residential lots, subject to local council requirements and development standards.  Every site is different, so we’ll assess your block and advise what’s possible before you commit.

In many cases, yes. Current Western Australian planning rules generally allow ancillary dwellings to be rented independently, subject to applicable planning requirements.  We’ll explain how the regulations apply to your site during the feasibility stage.

Yes.  Where the design and approvals allow, we can build the granny flat before the main home.  Many clients choose this option so they can move into the granny flat while the main house is under construction, saving on temporary accommodation costs.

Designing both dwellings as one project delivers a better outcome. The homes can be positioned for privacy, natural light and outdoor living, while construction is more efficient and approvals are managed as one coordinated development.

The minimum land size depends on your property’s zoning, local council requirements and the design of both dwellings. During your feasibility assessment, we’ll determine whether your block is suitable and recommend the best layout for your site.

Absolutely. A well-designed development considers much more than fitting two buildings onto a block. We carefully plan entrances, outdoor areas, windows and living spaces to maximise privacy for both households.

Yes. We manage the entire process, including feasibility, design, planning, approvals and construction. You’ll have one experienced team coordinating your project from start to finish.

The easiest way is to speak with our team.  We’ll carry out a feasibility assessment that considers your block’s zoning, dimensions, site conditions and planning requirements, then recommend the best development option for your property.

The answer depends on your goals.  If your block can be subdivided, creating separate titles may maximise resale value, but it also involves additional time, approvals and costs.  A house and granny flat development is often a faster and more affordable alternative, allowing you to create two self-contained homes on one title while avoiding the subdivision process.  During your feasibility assessment, we can help you compare both options so you can choose the approach that best suits your budget and long-term plans
