Are you considering adding a Granny Flat to your property in rural or regional New South Wales? The Inland Code, a crucial component of the SEPP (Exempt and Complying Development Codes), plays a significant role in shaping the landscape of development in these areas. Let’s delve into what the Inland Code means for your Granny Flat project and how you can navigate the complexities to bring your dream project to life.
Simplified Standards for Rural and Regional Areas
The Inland Code stands out by combining rural and residential zoning into a unified code. The primary aim is to simplify development standards tailored to the unique characteristics of rural and regional areas. This approach acknowledges the distinct needs and challenges of these communities, streamlining the process for new dwellings and extensions to existing ones.
While the Inland Code is a boon for many development projects, it’s essential to be aware of its limitations. Unfortunately, the code does not permit complying development for the erection of secondary dwellings, commonly known as granny flats. This means that for the 69 Local Government Areas (LGAs) falling under the Inland Code, obtaining approval for a granny flat requires a Development Application (DA).
