Subject

HIA calls for a nationwide framework to allow granny flats up to 90m² via planning exemptions, addressing inconsistent rules that add costs. Citing other various reforms as a blueprint, the association argues standardised design rules could unlock thousands of homes in cities and regional areas, especially with rising demand for modular, affordable housing.
