Interesting article – thanks for sharing.
Granny flats do seem to be all the rage right now! Especially in West Syd.

Yea I do probably 50% of granny flat approvals in the western Sydney region. Next would be south and south western Sydney (Campbelltown etc). I think the prices quoted in the article were quite high? Modular homes are not able to be approved as granny flats under the SEPP, so this article is flawed. Here's the Department of Planning circular on the fact that modular and transportable homes are not dwellings.

Yes the prices are really high, the only issue is people are pay that price so everyone keeps on charging. i have had quotes in the past to build a GF and the difference between some of the quotes was around $40k, when i called up and explained that i had quotes a lot less than what they quoted they offered to match the price. just goes to show the amount of money some builders are making on this GF hype.
Really nice article. Thanks for sharing.
