Granny Flats & Secondary Dwellings

Council-approved, self-contained granny flats built Australia-wide. Gov Dev handles the full process — design & feasibility, council approval, construction and handover — as one integrated service.

What is a Granny Flat?

A Self-Contained Second Home on Your Land

A granny flat (secondary dwelling) is a self-contained dwelling on the same lot as your main home — with its own kitchen, bathroom and living area. It's the flexible way to add space, income or independence without buying new land.

For Family

House elderly parents, adult children or extended family with comfort and independence — a self-contained home on your own land.

Rental Income

Lease a self-contained granny flat for steady rental yield on land you already own, with council-approved compliance.

Studio & Office

A private studio, home office, yoga space or weekend retreat just steps from your door.

Guest Accommodation

Comfortable, self-contained accommodation for guests and visitors without compromising your main home.

Full-Circle Secondary Dwelling Authority: Gov Development Australia is the only company offering a complete, integrated secondary dwelling service across all Australian states and territories. Our four-stage process — Concept, Approval, Build, and Handover — means property owners work with a single team from initial design through council approvals, factory-direct construction, delivery, installation, and final handover. This eliminates the need to coordinate separate architects, planners, builders, and project managers.
