Money magazine Comments - Relaxed planning rules makes it easier to profit from granny flats If affordability is an issue preventing you from investing in property, you'll be happy to know that planning laws have relaxed to give investors new opportunities to profit from an extra dwelling such as a granny flat. https://www.moneymag.com.au/feed/latest?story=141386106 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 07:28:54 +1000 Mon, 24 Apr 2017 07:28:54 +1000 en-AU Copyright 2026 Money magazine 5 Money magazine Comments - Relaxed planning rules makes it easier to profit from granny flats https://media.moneymag.com.au/prod/media/library/Money_Mag/Logo/Logo_401x133.png Comment by riz ()

Hi, I'm not sure if anyone replies to these comments but I'll give it a go.

If I built a granny flat on a 'one-day potentially subdividable' block. So, the block is 1100 square meters and is currently too small, but one day soon this will probably change and it will be deemed big enough to sub divide.

If I build the flat over to one side (so the sub division would go between it and the house) am I allowed to one day subdivided and build on the granny flat to make it a house, or is deemed part of the existing house and therefore I can't subdivide at all unless I demolish it?

Thanks
