No — not every property is eligible for a granny flat. Whether a secondary dwelling is allowed depends entirely on your local council's planning rules.

Each council has different minimum lot sizes, sewer connection requirements, and zoning restrictions.

Certain overlays (like bushfire, flood, or environmental zones) can also prevent approval.

Even if your property has enough space, council restrictions may apply based on density, slope, or site access.

A Preliminary Site Feasibility Check (Prelim) is required to assess your eligibility before proceeding.
