Align can assist you in determining if your property is suitable for a Secondary Dwelling, and will be able to organise / project manage all the relevant consultants to ensure your Council approval goes smoothly.
Secondary Dwellings were previously only allowed to be used by members of the same household (usually classified as a family). However, with the changes announced by the state government Secondary Dwellings can now provide homeowners with the opportunity to generate rental income from their existing property.
Most properties within a region can be improved by a Secondary Dwelling, and therefore provides an opportunity for many homeowners. In Align’s experience, 99% of Secondary Dwellings require a Council approval, however on the odd occasion there may be no Council approval required, but this is rare due to the many complexities of local City Plans / Planning Schemes.
Although the above requirements are desired by Councils, the majority of items are negotiable, and this is where Align can help you! If you are thinking of exploring a possible Secondary Dwelling on your property, contact Align Planning today!
