Promodular Presents: Ancillary Dwellings – The Ultimate Backyard Upgrade!

Ever looked at that empty space in your backyard and thought, “This could really use…another house”? Well, you’re in luck! At Promodular, we specialise in turning those “meh” spaces into “wow” places with our expertly crafted ancillary dwellings—known to some as granny flats, and to us as the coolest thing you can do with your land since installing a slip ’n slide.

So, What Exactly Are Ancillary Dwellings?

Imagine a small, self-contained unit right in your backyard. It’s like a tiny house, but with big potential! These dwellings share your lot but have their own pizzazz, making them perfect for everything from hosting your in-laws (yes, we know) to earning a little extra cash on the side. Think of it as a house with the “wow” factor, minus the pesky mortgage.

Why Ancillary Dwellings? Let’s Break It Down:

1. Planning Requirements:

• Zones & Size: These gems are usually a go in residential zones, but just in case, we’ll double-check so you don’t have to. And with a max size of 60 square meters, it’s just big enough to be cosy but not so big that you’ll lose your whole yard. (You still need space for that BBQ, right?)

• Regulations: Don’t worry about the boring stuff—height, setbacks, blah blah blah—we’ll make sure your dwelling checks all the boxes so you can focus on what matters: the décor!

2. Approval Process (Spoiler: It’s Easier Than You Think!):

• Permits: Yes, permits are a thing. But at Promodular, we know how to navigate the red tape faster than you can say “tiny house party.” Planning and building permits? Check and check.

• Utilities: We’ll hook you up—literally. Water, electricity, sewerage, all connected and ready to go. You might even forget it’s not the main house!

3. Other Considerations:

• Parking: Some councils might ask for more parking. We say: the more, the merrier! Your new backyard unit might need a spot for your guest’s car, but we’ll make sure it doesn’t cramp your style.

• Fees: We’re not going to sugarcoat it—there are fees. But don’t worry, we’ll break it down so clearly, you’ll actually know where your money’s going. (And not just “to the council.”)

• Usage Restrictions: Dreaming of turning your ancillary dwelling into an Airbnb goldmine? Some councils might frown on that, but hey, there are plenty of other fun uses!
