Two-bedroom granny flat requirements
Two-bedroom granny flats generally require more space than one-bedroom granny flats. The size you can build your granny flat used to be determined by the size of your house’s lot. However, this is no longer the case, as recent amendments will scrap this requirement from April of 2024. But regardless of this, a larger lot size still tends to provide more space for building your two-bedroom granny flat. And two-bedroom granny flat must still meet the primary requirements and get building approval in order to be built.
