Regulations

Guidelines

When building a secondary dwelling on the Gold Coast, it's essential to adhere to local council regulations. Gold Coast City Council sets specific requirements, including land zoning, lot size, setbacks, and height restrictions. Additionally, approval for plumbing, drainage, and building work may be required. Ensuring compliance with these regulations is vital for a smooth approval process and to avoid costly delays.

Feasibility

ROI

A secondary dwelling can provide an excellent return on investment (ROI), offering rental income potential or increasing the overall value of your property. Conducting a feasibility study helps ensure the project aligns with your financial goals, taking into account construction costs, local market rental rates, and long-term appreciation. With a well-planned approach, a secondary dwelling can be a lucrative addition to your property.

Design

Aesthetic

Designing a secondary dwelling involves meeting both aesthetic and practical considerations. Key design requirements include size limitations, typically capped at 70 square meters, ensuring the building complements the primary residence and surrounding neighborhood. Attention must also be given to features like natural light, energy efficiency, and outdoor spaces to create a functional and visually appealing dwelling.

Flexibility

Lifestyle

Secondary dwellings offer incredible flexibility, accommodating a range of needs from housing elderly family members to providing space for guests or even generating rental income. They can also serve as home offices, studios, or extra living spaces, enhancing your lifestyle by adding both convenience and versatility to your property.
