Many South Australian Councils currently allow Granny Flats to be installed, but with the proviso that an immediate family member lives in it, whether it’s elderly parents or teenage children. Granny flats can only be built for an immediate family member, not as an investment option.
Dependent Accommodation, such as granny flats and sleep outs, are considered development and as such an application must be lodged with the Council to determine whether it meets the requirements of the Development Plan.
The information provided is general and specific local council consultation should be arranged.
