Why Build a Granny Flat in Tasmania?
Granny flats — often called ancillary dwellings or ancillary flats in Tasmania — offer an ideal solution for:
Supporting ageing parents or adult children
Multi-generational living without compromising privacy
Guest accommodation or home offices
Rental income (in many areas, rules permit renting to anyone)
Boosting your property’s value and versatility
As land becomes more scarce and expensive, especially in urban areas like Hobart and Launceston, building a granny flat is a cost-effective way to optimise the space you already own.
Granny Flat Rules & Council Requirements in Tasmania
In Tasmania, building regulations and planning policies differ between local councils, and there is no single statewide policy. However, there are general guidelines that most councils follow — including Hobart City Council and others.
Here are some of the key points to consider:
You are typically allowed one main residence and one ancillary dwelling per block
The granny flat must be no larger than 30% of the total floor area of the main residence
Granny flats can generally be rented to anyone, not just family members
There may be no strict minimum block size, but lot coverage and setback rules still apply
Planning, building, and plumbing permits may all be required
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure permits are in place before starting any work
Substantial penalties apply for building without permits
Important: Always seek confirmation from your local council or a licensed building surveyor before starting any work. Written advice is recommended if you believe a permit is not required.
Each Tasmanian council may interpret the regulations slightly differently — especially in rural zones — so it’s essential to confirm your design aligns with the local planning scheme.
