Dear all,
Currently planning to build a granny flat in area governed by Auburn Council in Sydney and I came across an interesting and possibly better investment return - duplex of granny flat! I have attached a floor plan for everyone to see. It is 60 sqm. The granny flat builder claims if your land suffice granny flat requirements, they can get this floor plan approved by the council.
I rang another builder which has been building grannies for 25yrs and told me this is not possible as Council only allows a single dwelling structure to be build as a granny flat.
Question:
1. Does any expert know if its possible to build a council approved duplex granny flat such as the attached floor plan?
2. If above is possible, what are the regulations such as fire prove for the common wall etc around duplex grannies?
Cheers.
