Qld government proposes new measures to support construction of secondary dwellings

The Queensland government is inviting public comment on proposed changes to its statewide building code, which would permit secondary dwellings that fulfil certain criteria to be used as small households.

A secondary dwelling, in this context, is defined as a small and self-contained home situated on a property where a primary house already exists. The suggested revisions aim to increase housing supply and support housing diversity by providing specific design criteria for secondary dwellings, in an attempt to streamline and simplify the approval process.
