Answer:
Yes — Expandify homes are often used as secondary dwellings or granny flats on properties that already have a primary residence.
Key requirements:
- You must have sufficient space on the property to meet local setback, height, and privacy regulations
- Your site must comply with zoning and land use restrictions for secondary dwellings
- Local councils may have rules regarding maximum dwelling size, parking, and number of occupants
A Preliminary Site Feasibility Check (Prelim) conducted by Expandify with your council is the first step to confirming if your site qualifies. Expandify will help you understand your council’s requirements before proceeding to contract.
