We’ve built multiple granny flats on investment properties and know firsthand how powerful they can be for boosting rental income and property value. But navigating council rules and approvals can be overwhelming — that’s where CanIGrannyFlat.com.au steps in.

If you’re wondering “Where do I start?”, the first two questions you need answered are:
•     Am I allowed to build a granny flat?
•     What kind of granny flat can I build?

✅ Step 1: Certifier Consent
Before you spend a cent on engineering or design, we engage a qualified private certifier to assess whether your proposed granny flat aligns with local council regulations. This helps you bypass direct council contact and gives you a strong indication that your project can proceed.

🏗️ Step 2: Choose Your Dwelling Type
This is where the real savings kick in.
If you can do a Google search, you’ll find dozens of granny flat suppliers — some build on-site, others deliver prefabricated dwellings ready to install. It’s your choice.

On our “Why We Granny Flat?” page, we’ll share our preferred option as investors. Whatever design you choose, share an image or weblink, create a page and save it or paste a URL link into your application. Then we’ll tell you:

Can I Granny Flat — or not?
