Hi ,

We live in NSW and want to add a granny flat in our backyard. I want to know about the steps which are involved in this process. From where we can start it. I mean from council permissions to building etc.

Please share your experience or suggestions with me .

Thanks

My neighbours added a granny flat to their backyard. They got quotes, decided on a builder, and I believe the builder dealt with the permits and council approvals etc.

We have a granny flat included in our new build, but it’s attached to the main dwelling, so not quite the same situation as yours.

I haven't looked into it for a few years OP, so things might have changed. But as long as the granny flat meets certain requirements, then you only need "complying developer", which is much simpler than the usual DA process.

Some of these requirements are a minimum block size of 450sqm (with a frontage of at least 12m), & a maximum granny flat size under 60sqm.

Just go to a building designer/draftsman/architect and get their advice. You need a contour survey,, sections, site plan, floorpan, elevations as well as BASIX certificate.
