Small Second homes.

---

The Victorian Government has made it easier to build a small second home in residential and rural areas across Victoria – giving families more housing choice and boosting housing supply.

Some of the key features of a small second home include:

• Floor area equal to or less than 60 square metres
• Sited on the same lot as an existing dwelling
• One small second dwelling per lot, however there may be more than one and this would be subject to a planning permit
• Is self-contained, i.e. has a kitchen, bathroom, toilet and laundry facilities
• No carparking required
• Anyone can live in it or rent it out
• Cannot be subdivided from the primary dwelling
• Cannot be connected to reticulated gas
• Meets siting requirements, including minimum garden area
• Can be attached, detached or a conversion
• Must have an access path from the front street

Our small second homes are meticulously designed to maximise space and comfort, featuring modern amenities and stylish finishes. A small second home can be built on most properties in residential and rural zones without a planning permit.  A building permit is always required.
