Answer:
Minimum lot size requirements vary based on your state, council, and zoning. Expandify reviews this during the Preliminary Site Feasibility Check (Prelim) to confirm eligibility before proceeding.

Common examples include:

  • QLD (SEQ councils): Minimum 600m² for most granny flats or secondary dwellings
  • NSW (CDC path): Minimum 450m² with a 12m street frontage
  • Rural zones: May require lots larger than 2,000m² depending on land use type

Other factors include:

  • Minimum side and rear setbacks
  • Distance from existing dwelling
  • Easement locations and access to services

You should never assume your block qualifies based on size alone — zoning, overlays, and previous DA history all play a role. Expandify will verify this during the initial zoning check and Preliminary Site Feasibility Check (Prelim).
