Granny flat plans in Sunshine Coast
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 Sunshine Coast. 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.
Under the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme a secondary dwelling is generally limited to 60m² of gross floor area in residential zones, or up to 90m² in rural and rural residential zones. Some coastal character precincts apply a tighter 45m² limit with a 4 metre height cap.
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. Sunshine Coast 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.
