No — occupancy of a certified Expandify granny flat is not restricted to family members. You can:
Live in the dwelling yourself
Rent it to a tenant or relative
Use it for guest accommodation or Airbnb (subject to council and insurance)
Occupancy is permitted once the home is approved and certified under CDC or DA and connected to utilities. Always confirm with your local council regarding short-term rental rules.
