Yes — you can install an Expandify home on a property with an existing septic system, but approval depends on:
Whether the current system has capacity for another dwelling
Zoning and council rules for secondary dwellings
Site layout and space for expansion, if needed
If your current septic system is not suitable, your council will likely require you to:
Upgrade the system
Install a separate septic system
Provide a new wastewater absorption area
A formal wastewater assessment will usually be required, which is an additional cost separate to the Site Assessment. The builder can organise this for Complete Packages. For DIY Kits, your plumber or certifier will need to handle this independently.
