Granny flat plans in Springfield
A granny flat, known in the planning system as a secondary dwelling, is a self contained second home on the same lot as your main house. It is one of the most effective ways to add rental income or house family in Springfield. Plan Draft provides fixed price granny flat drawings for homeowners on standard residential lots.
We produce the full documentation set your building certifier needs, site plan, floor plan, elevations, roof plan, cross section and specification notes. Both attached and detached secondary dwellings are within the standard fixed price scope.
In the Ipswich area a granny flat is an 'auxiliary unit'. Under the Ipswich Planning Scheme it is limited to 50m² of gross floor area and a single bedroom, and must sit behind and within 20 metres of the main dwelling. No infrastructure charges apply, which is a genuine cost advantage.
Since September 2022, a secondary dwelling in Queensland can be rented to anyone, it no longer has to be lived in by a member of the household. Ipswich City Council applies its own design and overlay requirements; we check suitability against the relevant planning scheme before any work begins, at no cost to you.

Common questions
Yes. An auxiliary unit (granny flat) needs a building approval. If it meets the Ipswich Planning Scheme requirements it can be approved without a full planning application, with building approval through a private certifier. We confirm the pathway for your block at suitability review.
