Yes — Expandify homes are Class 1a certified dwellings, which means they can be legally used for both long-term residential rental and short-term accommodation such as Airbnb.

However, all rental use — whether for a granny flat, private tenant, or short-term letting — is subject to local council approval and planning zone conditions.

Before purchasing, you should:

  • Confirm with your local council that the property allows secondary dwellings, rentals, or short-term stays
  • Check whether additional parking, access, or occupancy rules apply
  • Be aware that some councils treat short-term rentals differently from permanent dwellings

Expandify provides homes compliant with the National Construction Code (NCC) — but local planning usage remains the owner’s responsibility.
