Approval

Two ways to approve a Studio: as a self-contained secondary dwelling it follows the same pathway as a granny flat - fast-track on eligible 450 m2+ blocks, or a council DA below that (there's no legal minimum lot size). Configured without a kitchen - as a home office, guest suite or studio space - it can also qualify for fast-track approval on blocks over 350 m2. We confirm the right pathway for your block before you commit.

Specifications are indicative. Site conditions and approval costs are quoted in writing before you sign.
