From what I know, the maximum size allowed for building granny flats is only 60 square meters. However, I heard there is a place in Australia where you can build granny flats up to 65 square meters! How is this possible and why are there differences in maximum sizes? In what instances are there exceptions to the 60 square meter rule? I hope I can get a good response on this matter. I’m planning on building a granny flat backyard for my mother and I’d want her to have a spacious home as possible. Any information would be welcomed. Thanks a lot!
Council areas are all different in QLD.

Hi Gemma,
Some Sydney Councils allow granny flats at 65 square meters under their own DCP (Development Control Policy). Even under the current NSW State Legislation, you can attach ancillary structures like sheds, patios, carports, garages and verandas. Have a read of this guide which explains what is allowed: http://www.grannyflatapprovals.com.au/larger-than-60-square-metres

As Darryl mentioned many different Councils in Qld.
A few i can think of would allow it however others it would be a flat out No.
Cheers
