Good question. Some councils require a certain frontage to legally build a granny flat. But in general, a wide frontage allows better access to the rear of the property.
So far as certification is concerned, are they set up as a dual occupancy or auxiliary unit? And how do you manage car parking requirements for a lot with pedestrian access?
In the council areas we target, they are called auxiliary units which is a form of secondary dwelling. Each council requires a certain number of carparks, we treat each property on a case by case basis. Sometimes adding a parking slab or two in the front yard or next to the existing driveway is all you need.
Thanks Kade, the blocks stay under the one title. Seperate sub meters are installed to seperate the utility bills. A new mailbox is also installed for the granny flat!
Ben, Great outcome. May I know the total cost of the project including the granny?
Cost of the house depends on the area and quality of home. The average total cost of adding a granny is usually around $130,000
Hi Ben. What's the reason you're looking for "a nice wide frontage" as you said at 7:00? How does it help building a granny flat?

In melb we call that townhouses or units 😉
Can I I ask the total price of the granny flat
Hi Alex, including everything, I believe this one would have cost a little over $130,000

Hi, great content. Do you consider also demographic factors?
Thanks! Yes sure do, very important.
Hi guys
Really interested in your strategy. Just wondering do you sub divide the block? If not how do you manage utility bills and mail etc?
