Yes — Expandify homes can be approved as a secondary dwelling or granny flat, subject to local council regulations and zoning.
If your property meets the applicable planning requirements, the dwelling may be approved under:
- Complying Development Certificate (CDC) — for eligible blocks in NSW
- Development Application (DA) — for sites outside CDC guidelines or in other states
Common factors considered include:
- Land size and zoning
- Existing structures on the property
- Required setbacks, site coverage, and private open space
Expandify assists with both CDC and DA approvals and includes full documentation for submission, including energy compliance reports and site-specific plans. Customers seeking a granny flat must check local council allowances during the Prelim stage.
